Inner Fragments: An Exhibition of Contemporary Iranian Women Artists
February 18 – March 3, 2019
Opening Reception (with live entertainment)

February 19, 4:00 pm
Duderstadt Center Gallery

This exhibition will not play the exotic card to win the sympathy of a Western audience, but will focus on universal themes that women experience in their lives, beyond being mothers, wives, and daughters.
