Less than a week until the opening of Amy Rose Khoshbin’s solo exhibition🌹 ANAHITA, on Sat October 3, 6 - 9PM, curated by Lila Nazemian.

ANAHITA draws from the ancient Persian goddess Anahita associated with water, healing, fertility, and wisdom, to create a contemporary sanctuary for grief, play, ritual, and collective release.

Through collage, sculpture, performance, textiles, and participatory ritual, the exhibition brings Persian and Zoroastrian mythology into conversation with Khoshbin’s experiences of queer embodiment, illness, grief, and fragmented cultural inheritance during wartime.

The exhibition will evolve over the course of the month through performance and audience participation🔮

OCTOBER 3 – NOVEMBER 1, 2026
🔺Opening Reception: Saturday, October 3, 6–9pm
🔻ANAHITA Performance: Saturday, October 17, 7pm
🔺ANAHITA’S ORACLE: Collage Workshop: Sunday, October 25, 3pm
🔻Closing Oracle Readings: Sunday, November 1, 3pm

Transmitter Gallery
1329 Willoughby Ave, Brooklyn
Curated by Lila Nazemian @just.lila 💜
