Collage , 6 x (75,5 x 56.5 cm)

In 1885, 1920, 1950, 1980, 2011, 2025 from Mohadjerin’s more recent series, Riding in Silence & The Crying Dervish, the focus shifts towards the role of masculinity in the formation of oppressive and authoritarian political ideology. It comprises a collage of images resembling a timeline that sets a story of displacement against the historical arc of Iranian politics. Mohadjerin’s practice informs us that taking control of images and visuality can be a form of empowerment.
