A Shared Silence

“A Shared Silence” is a homage to the people of Iran by Iranian artists who have studied or are currently studying at the Department of Gemstones and Jewellery in Idar-Oberstein. The works of these 13 artists tell stories of oppression, expulsion, and loss, dealing with the experience of constant internal upheaval and uncertainty. In the in-between of past and present, proximity and detachment, hope and despair, their work enables us to connect and stand up for freedom and human dignity.

A publication will be released accompanying the exhibition.

“A shared silence” is part of the exhibition programme “Idar-Oberstein adorned” with the support of the city of Idar-Oberstein.
