Present Perfect? Contemporary Photography from Iran is an exhibition of contemporary photography by Iranian artists whose work examines modern-day Iran. Through the creative minds and voices of these photographers Iran’s histories and heritage, political and cultural systems and matters such as gender relation, cultural identity and everyday life are explored and discussed. These original, compelling and exciting works help to break down a perceptual barrier, revealing with frankness, sensitivity and occasional playfulness a public and private realm previously unseen, offering an unprecedented look into the complex relationship between art, politics and everyday life in Iran. Present Perfect?Contemporary Photography from Iran is co-curated by Michael Sargeant and Armindokht Shooshtari and the exhibiting artists are: Milad Houshmandzadeh, Mohsen Yazdipour, Morteza Khaki, Morvarid K, Parham Taghioff, Keivan Mousavi Aghdam, Mehrdad Naraghi, Saba Alizadeh & Kiana Hayeri.
