About this Event
Explore the hidden stories inspired by Persian carpets through photography, poetry and contemporary art.
Join photographer and visual artist Bahareh Safa for Hidden Threads, a 5-day solo exhibition at Old Fire Station Gallery, celebrating her artistic practice through photography, poetry, Persian cultural heritage, and print on silk.
The exhibition traces Bahareh's journey from Pairidaeza, her acclaimed photographic project exploring the hidden stories, symbolism, and poetry woven into Persian carpets, to the publication of her Pairidaeza photobook and the transformation of her original artworks into luxurious silk accessories through her brand, Bahar London.
The exhibition also premieres selections from her latest photographic project, Nothing Is the Same. Created in response to the recent events in Iran, the series explores identity, resilience and transformation.
Whether you are passionate about contemporary photography, Persian art and culture, or visual storytelling, Hidden Threads offers an intimate opportunity to discover the stories woven between tradition and contemporary practice.
This exhibition will also feature some limited-edition jewellery by RA Glod Gallery.
