On now: Mojgan Habibi - Behind the Words

8/2/2018

Visitors are thoroughly enjoying engaging with Mojgan Habibi's show now on display at the University Gallery.

Mojgan Habibi’s PhD research is concerned with use of text by politically motivated Iranian visual artists. Hidden or secondary meanings contained in prose become more evident in times of political or religious censorship, and the use of text in contemporary art can direct the viewer to content beyond the literal meaning. The works in Habibi’s PhD research exhibition, Behind the Words, use metaphor, allegory, poetry and references to Persian mythology and history as vehicles to discuss contemporary Iranian politics. Habibi’s carefully crafted objects are made from clay, some are fired, and all contain textual references ranging from Persian script to abstract calligraphy.

​Exhibition continues until 17 February 2018.
