The first of many for my “Belly Dancers on Film” series🌹

I started taking belly dance classes earlier this year, and since then, it has felt like my world has been colored in with such vibrance and magic. I’ve been continuously inspired by the beauty, strength, and individuality of every dancer I’ve met and danced with in my classes.

What started as a class has introduced me to such a warm, generous, and loving community. I’m grateful to be learning, moving, and creating alongside these incredible women, and I hope to capture even a little of the magic they bring with them.

Thank you to @emiliabellydancer for believing in me, and helping me bring this vision to life, while sharing so much of her own creativity and artistry in making this.

I am so excited to finally share my senior thesis “Portraits in Exile”❤️

I owe so much to the female Iranian pop divas I grew up listening to; those who forever shaped Iranian sound, history, and culture. Growing up Iranian-American, the images of these women allowed me to see the beauty and strength of my identity. I learned to see myself as part of a culture that prized a particularly powerful form of femininity. This work is my homage to these women, especially those silenced or forced to flee their homeland after the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

In pre-revolutionary Iran, female pop stars freely expressed individuality through their style, presence, and sound. After the revolution, their album covers were now produced in exile and smuggled back into Iran. These “portraits in exile” trace the repression Iranian women faced, the regime’s struggle against Western influence, and the cultural stagnation that emerged from suppressing feminine expression.

On view at the FIT museum until May 25th!
A huge thank you to Jonathan (@prodseepy) who I couldn’t have done this series without. taken in New York, New York by @princessxparmida
