Mandana Ranjbar
Selected series
№ 01 · Freedom
Color of Freedom.
Twenty-two images that began as a question about how color survives political pressure, and ended as a meditation on the chromatic life of refusal.
№ 02 · Identity
Captivity.
Portraits made over fourteen months in Houston. A study of the rooms inside the rooms; of bodies that have learned how to be still.
№ 03 · Freedom
Woman. Life. Freedom.
An initiative founded at the University of Houston in 2022, mobilizing women artists in response to the protests in Iran.
№ 04 · Theater
Theater photographs.
Three hundred productions across Tehran's theater scene, including the Fajr International festivals. A long apprenticeship in low light and faster gestures.
