SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – An Iranian-born artist whose work gives viewers a clearer understanding of the challenges immigrants face as they transition into life in a new country will be on display in downtown Shreveport beginning Jan. 26, as will the work of two other Iranian-born artists.
Sara Rastegar uses installation art, sculpture, photography, and printmaking to bring viewers into transcendent boundaries, where they can embrace the unknown in an array of glass, bronze, plaster, wood, concrete, and prints.
Rastegar’s curation, “Living the Unknown,” will be exhibited with the work of two more Iranian artists: Nida Bangash and Fatemeh Hosseini. Their artwork will be displayed at Artspace in downtown Shreveport beginning Jan. 26 at 5 p.m.
All three artists were featured in an artist’s talk on Saturday, Jan. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m.
“Immigration is not solely a geographical relocation,” said Rastegar. Instead, she says, it’s a profound journey into the unknown, where the constants are unpredictability and change.
