Dubai’s Carbon 12 gallery features Tehran-born artist Sara Rahbar’s solo exhibition titled “Restless Violence,” in which the artist presents pieces from two new series “War” and “Confessions of a Sinner.”
Rahbar’s work is characterized by her successful “reworking of traditional materials into proto-contemporary textiles and textures of national belonging,” as Shaheen Merali describes.
Rahbar, who was forced to leave Iran during the revolution, now separates her time between New York and London. Her work also includes Neda Sarmast’s memorable 2008 documentary on the youth culture of Iran called “Nobody's Enemy.”
