Maryam Majd Art Projects (MMAP), in collaboration with Soo Contemporary, presents Shadi Parand’s solo exhibition, showcasing her fabric paintings on the second floor of Soo Contemporary.

In this collection, the presence of the tree, spanning the length and breadth of life, serves as the central theme, richly layered with diverse textures and pieces of fabric, collected over many years, that evoke a sense of tactile storytelling. These works, on one hand, narrate the creator’s sensory experiences along her personal life journey, and on the other, continue her unique, playful, and inventive approach to expressing her inner world, an approach previously manifested in her fashion designs.

As part of MMAP’s mission, we have supported Shadi Parand with curatorial, archival, and representational services. Born in 1966 in Tehran, Shadi Parand is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tehran who, in recent years, has shifted her focus from fashion design to the visual arts.
