Dreaming in Farsi — Solo Exhibition by Yasamin KhadembashiOpening Night: 16 January, 6:30–9:30pm
PS Art Space, Fremantle
This event is FREE and open to the public!
Join us for the opening of Dreaming in Farsi, a new solo exhibition by Perth-based Australian–Iranian artist Yasamin Khadembashi (she/her).
Rooted in the lived experiences and cultural memory of the Iranian diaspora, Yasamin’s practice delves into themes of identity, displacement, censorship, and the resilience of women and queer communities within—and beyond—SWANA contexts. Her works combine meticulous mark-making with a distinctive piping technique that introduces sculptural texture and depth, resulting in pieces that feel both intimate and boldly declarative.
This exhibition invites viewers into a space where personal narrative and collective history intertwine, offering moments of reflection, connection, and conversation.
We are honoured to begin the evening with a Welcome to Country by Aunty Liz Hayden, acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather and paying respect to their enduring cultural presence.
✨Welcome to the Mehmooni of Dreaming in Farsi!
The opening night will be a celebration in true mehmooni spirit—warm, vibrant, and communal. Enjoy refreshments, drinks, and live music as you move through the works and experience the exhibition in a lively, shared atmosphere. This evening is about gathering, connecting, and honouring the stories and energies that shape the exhibition.
