Opening of CICLO 2025 with the exhibition And They Laughed At Me, by Newsha Tavakolian
NARRATIVA presents an impactful exhibition by Iranian photographer Newsha Tavakolian, member of Magnum agency. This work is an intimate portrait of a society fighting for freedom and change, built from the personal archive from the beginning of the author’s career and the work she has developed in recent years.
In And They Laughed At Me, Newsha Tavakolian presents a photographic narrative constructed in two stages: the author revisits her photographic archive, recovering technically imperfect images from her early years as a photographer, and intersects it with a new body of intimate and creative work about a society struggling for freedom and change.
Free entry.
