Shadi Ghadirian

By Sylvie Aznavourian

Shadi Ghadirian is a prominent Iranian photographer whose work examines the lives of women in Iranian society. She uses parody, humor, and her great technical skill to explore the paradoxes of women's lives in Iran, where she continues to live and work. Her work also displays how photography can take on an important role in society while maintaining a high aesthetic quality. This exhibition catalogue, published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Biblioth que municipale de Lyon in cooperation with the Silk Road Gallery in Teheran, revolves around the theme of art and resistance. This is the first retrospective monograph to bring together her works and different series from over fifteen years of her career.
