      <image:caption>"The immigrant home rests precariously in that space between memories of a mythical past and the chimeric dreams of possible futures.  Raised by immigrant Iranian parents in America, the artist Negar Ahkami's sensibilities have been colored by this vivid, cacophonous space in between.  Her artistic response is at once embracing and angry, celebratory and sardonically derisive, humorous and touchingly painful." (Excerpt from Shiva Balgahi's Essay).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Consumption features a selection of exuberant paintings with bas-relief surfaces that depict a variety of figures in water. Ahkami’s water imagery is calligraphic and patterned, inspired by Iran’s blue-tiled mosques, which have been said to symbolize water and nature. The artist uses all-over patterning and water symbolism expressionistically, to convey a psychic loss of control...  In these intense yet playful works, water acts as a symbol...of struggle and passion. (Excerpt from Press Release  </image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Taking is a faux-museum installation of 29 painted fragments with accompanying wall text. Each fragment depicts a detail of actual source material primarily Western in origin— chosen for its connection to the rich visual legacy of Iran and its neighbors. The museum-like wall text treats Persian and Iraqi contributions as central. The Taking is about acknowledging forgotten sources, challenging exceptionalism and biases in art history, and the need to build a new narratives.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In my artist book Shahrzadistan (and video by Bethany Fancher of its pages to Rimsky-Karsakov’s Scheherazade), I pay tribute to the forgotten narrator of 1001 Nights, Shahrzad. The pages contain psychological drawings reflecting her existential threat, and survival through creativity. The drawings are inspired by Persian miniatures and my own teenage sketchbooks.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Y’All Go Rhythm is a multimedia art project centered around interactive dance platforms. The colors and patterns in the dance platforms, paintings and objects, draw inspiration from the vibrant colors and dizzying patterns in Iranian art and architecture. I connect Iranian art history with the dance floor because it feels second nature, knowing the festive, hospitable, and dance floor-loving, aspects of Iranian culture and humanity. This project shares wisdom and inspiration from this rich culture, as a tribute to those who have danced against dangerous odds, and as an offering of kindness, hospitality, and connection.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Each dance platform is a layered work of art that dialogues with Iranian art history and culture. They also draw inspiration from art made for NYC clubs in the 1980s; the collages of artist and Stonewall veteran Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt; DIY Punk; Saturday Night Fever, and Soul Train. While I pay tribute to my specific sources, I hope to evoke feelings of universality and connection.</image:caption>
