“Places I’d Like to Be”

Exhibition of Paintings by Azarakhsh Asgari
10 – 29 October 2025

Maryam Majd Art Projects (MMAP) presents “Places I’d Like to Be”, a private exhibition of 28 oil paintings by Azarakhsh Asgari, on view from 10 to 29 October 2025.

These works mark a significant visual shift in Asgari’s practice. Created between 2022 and 2025—a period marked by anxiety, unrest, and broader social upheaval—the paintings are reimagined from found images of places she envisioned as refuges during personal and collective crises.

Azarakhsh Asgari (b. 1982, Tehran) is an Iranian painter based in Tehran. She studied painting and has been active in the Iranian art scene for over two decades. Her works combine autobiographical reflection, memory, and imagination, producing dreamlike, layered narratives that balance personal and cultural observation. Alongside her artistic practice, she has worked extensively in art administration, managing archives and projects at Assar Gallery and MMAP
