By Sa'dia Rehman (Queens, NY)

Queens, NY) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores how contemporary and historical images-in public and private records-communicate, consolidate and contest ideas about race, power and gender.

In addition to Rehman's archive, Sa'dia's core materials includes hand-cut stencils, charcoal, graphite, erasers, spray paint and ink.

Yellow River from the River series, 2020, lapis lazuli, pigment, hand-carved on found wood, 11 x 10.5 inches.

Brooklyn based, Iranian born artist Bahar Behbahani's multilayered work explores the complexities of memory, loss, adaptation, and a fundamental search for a sense of place. Her central, multi-tiered subject for the past decade has been the Persian garden, one that she has re-tooled to her personal and shared history. Her research-based practice on the natural realm encompasses the aesthetic, the poetic, the philosophical, the socio-political, and the ecological, weaving together past, present, and future.

In 2019 Behbahani was granted a Creative Capital award for an upcoming project Ispahan Flowers Only Once, a community garden inspired by Persian garden design, philosophy, plants and flora, which will bring people together to take part and re-activate unseen histories by gathering and gardening.

Behbahani's work was most recently featured in the solo exhibition, Let the Garden Eram Flourish, at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, curated by Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi, Curator of African Art. Her multidisciplinary series of Garden Coup has been shown in Thomas Erben Gallery in New York and the 11th Shanghai Biennale, China in 2016. Her project, The Color of Soil Never Lies was featured in the 7th Moscow Biennale, Russia, and her work has also been shown at The 18th Biennale of Sydney, Australia; Sharjah Biennial 10, UAE; The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, MI; and The Tribeca Film Festival, NY; among others. Her film Behind the Mirrors premiered at Fireflies in the Night, curated by Robert Storr, Kalliopi Minioudaki, and Barbara London in partnership with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Greece in 2016.

Behbahani has also been awarded a fellowship at the MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, NH; an Art Omi International Artists Residency by The Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant, Ghent, NY; and The Brown Foundation Fellows Program, based at the Dora Maar House in Ménerbes, France, in addition to others.

In 2018, Behbahani was selected as one of the Drawing Center's Open Session artists and her work will be exhibited there in conjunction with the program in 2019.

Behbahani is a recipient of the 2019 Cultural Space Subsidy Program Two Trees, in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

By Zahra Nazari

Zahra Nazari was born in Hamedan, Iran to a family of architectural enthusiasts. Her brother is an architect and her father frequently brought her to architectural dig sites to admire ancient history and artifacts.

Throughout her entire life, she has pursued a career as a visual artist on the foundation of this inspiration from her youth. She left Iran in 2011 in order to pursue her master's studies in art in the US. She has since traveled the world to take inspiration from architecture in many other cultures.

In her work, the deconstructed and fragmented forms of architecture collide with themes of time, memory, erosion, and degradation. She twists and curves calligraphic lines of light and dark into translucent, living, breathing paintings and sculptures that depict dreamlike architectural structures. Her brushstrokes convey an emotional response to her personal life and current events.

Zahra Nazari has given artist talks and participated as a panelist at institutions including NYU, Columbia University, Cooper Union, and Pratt Institute in New York City. She has been interviewed by and published in Hamptons Art Hub, Hyperallergic, Whitehot Magazine, ZH Magazine, and many more. Her work is included in private and public collections throughout the US, Canada, and Asia.

Ms. Nazari has been a recipient of many awards such as: the AIM Fellowship from the Bronx Museum, NY; the Creative Engagement Grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, NY; an Artist Residency from Sculpture Space Residency in Utica, NY; the Mentoring Program from New York Foundation for the Arts, NY (NYFA); a Visiting Artist Fellowship from Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, MA (Mass MoCA); an Artist Residency Fellowship from The Cooper Union School of Art in New York City, and; an Artist Residency from the Vermont Studio Center, VT. Nazari has exhibited both nationally and internationally in galleries and museums including: the Bronx Museum, NY; Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, NY; MANA Contemporary, NJ; Spartanburg Art Museum, SC; Masur Museum of Art, LA; New York Academy of Art, NY; Denise Bibro Fine Art, NY; Boccara Art Gallery, NY; Painting Center, NY; A Center for Contemporary Art, NJ; Governors Island Art Fair, NY; Galerie Myrtis, MD; Illinois Institute of Art, IL; Manifest Gallery, IL; Woman Made Gallery, IL; China Millennium Monument, Beijing, China; Xuancheng Museum, Anhui, China; Lite-Haus Galerie, Berlin, Germany; Saba Institution, Tehran, Iran, and; Baran Gallery, Tehran, Iran.

8"x10" Watercolor

By Daniel Albo

This painting is from the "Family Table" series, a celebration of the culture and love expressed via food arranged on a table. It is part of a larger exploration of culture as it is experienced and expressed through "family", a singular, micro unit of culture. In "Family Table" paintings, figures are present but with portraiture removed. The paintings highlight the in-between spaces, imparting emotional responses to basic shapes of a table mid-meal.

By Devon Midori Hale

Devon Midori Hale is a visual artist based in Seattle, Washington. Her work explores civic, racial, and personal identity through the lens of intergenerational experience. Looking at the persistence of history in our present moment, she combines symbols of immortality and the past with the subtle intrusions of an observer from the present.

In addition to painting solo in a studio, her practice often extends to working on community-based and public artworks that often include interdisciplinary collaboration. Often these projects draw imagery from within the psyche, allowing bits and pieces of objects, places, and memories to shape an abstract narrative.

5.25"x3.5" ink, watercolor and gouache

By James Gouldthorpe

James Gouldthorpe has always been drawn to narrative and even at its most abstract my work suggests a plot. He has found that referencing a story is an effective way to explore his own particular conceptual ideas, and a compelling way to engage an audience. Painting one image often does not fully express the ideas he is exploring, but painting several images and thoughtfully juxtaposing them next each other they begin to create their own visual language. Gouldthorpe's approach to creating work has begun to resemble writing which I rigorously edit. As I pin paintings to the wall, I layer, remove, reconfigure and repaint until a compelling narrative begins to form. I frequently refer to my library of old books and magazines searching for relevant texts which I transcribe into the painted works. As I paint the work expands and shrinks finding unexpected directions, sometimes growing until it fills entire walls.

The Sanaya Set is named after Tarul's daughter-Sanaya means distinguished, different in a great way, as we explain to her. Tarul found her voice when Sanaya was born and made a commitment to never stay silent about the things that matter most. Our company was founded on the premise that each of us can make a positive impact; we can determine our own future. The Sanaya Set was born from our desire to pursue our passions for social justice, intersectionality, and our sweet spot- style.

We strongly believe empowered womxn empower womxn; we believe in recognizing and using our privilege to change lives. As first-generation South Asian womxn, our life experiences have shown us that feminism goes beyond gender. We believe in intersectional feminism: understanding our overlapping identities and how these factors impact the way we experience oppression and discrimination. To us, this means recognizing our diversity makes us stronger, makes us beautiful. Most importantly, it means pulling each other up.
