To coincide with the exhibition GIRLS. On Boredom, Rebellion and Being In-Between, MoMu invites you to a series of evenings curated by Belgian-Iranian theatre and filmmaker Sachli Gholamalizad, who previously curated Where We Are for the museum.

The project emerged from the desire to bring together the fragmented voices of the Iranian diaspora. Many of us, as diaspora artists, live across countries, languages, and contexts, often in isolation. Our visibility is frequently shaped by a Western gaze that simplifies or exoticizes complexity.

This curation offers a temporary, intimate community in which the artists determine how they wish to be visible. During the evenings, they bring their work together through performance, movement, sound, and ritual, moving between joy and rage, loss and desire.

Each evening concludes with a conversation among the artists, inviting reflection and dialogue. Girls of the Iranian Diaspora: Reimagining Joy, Rage & the Politics of Beauty explores its own mode of presence, beyond the gaze often directed at us.
