The week-long exhibition has put on display the works of Simindokht Keramati, Mahnaz Pesikhani, Karim Nasr, Ali Nedaii, Ahmad Nadalian, Elaheh Moqaddami, Farideh Shahsavarani, Hadi Jamali, Mehrdad Mohebali, Alireza Heidari, Ahmad Khalilifard, Hassan Murizinejad, and Rasul Soltani.
Members of the art group, organizers, and Mexican Ambassador to Tehran Luis Ortiz Monasterio attended the opening ceremony.
Monasterio called Group 30+1 friends of Mexico and said that the group uses the general concepts of art combined with their personal democratic nature to work for consensus.
He also explained that officials want the Mexican Embassy cultural section to be a place disseminating various messages from Mexico and also a space for artists to express themselves.
Members of Group 30+1 plan to conduct research on ancient Mexican motifs and symbols in order to create works for their next exhibition at the embassy.
“I think all the works of the exhibition are talking with me through their unique languages… thus I can find their codes and mysteries due to my familiarity with Iranian artworks,” Monasterio said. |
