Rev♀luti♀n: Visions of women life freedom
SNAG is proud to host this virtual exhibition, organized & curated by Azita Mireshghi and Siavash Jaraiedi.
The current, women-led revolution in Iran is a reminder of how important it is to fight for freedom. Rev♀luti♀n: Visions of women life freedom is a virtual exhibition of adornment as a powerful political and educational tool, amplifying the voices of those fighting for a free and peaceful life against the Islamic Regime occupying Iran.
By creating a space for dialogue and reflection, Rev♀luti♀n brings attention to this historical moment through art.

Siavash Jaraiedi
Siavash Jaraiedi is a contemporary artist, born in 1984 in Iran. From a young age, he has been creating sculptures and writing poetry, with his enthusiasm for design evident in his work. Siavash received his Masters in Advanced Architectural Design from the Staedelschule School of Art in Frankfurt, Germany. The creative energy present at this program brought on his passion for sculpture and he began studying under the esteemed sculptor Parvis Tanavoli, at his studio in Tehran.
While Siavash continues to research and teach architecture in Tehran, his primary focus is sculpture and poetry. His sculptures pay homage to the artist’s various influences, seamlessly integrating his many talents to capture and visually distill the essence of his poetry. In 2016 he founded RAAV concept studio as a home base for his collection of hand-crafted jewelry inspired by architecture and literature. Through his work, he seeks to bring awareness to the injustices that minority groups face and to encourage people to stand up for their rights. He uses his art to express his beliefs and to speak out against oppression.
