Iranian Artists in Exile Show at The Brick via Local Collaborators

An exhibition at The Brick in Los Angeles features works by Iranian artists who are unable to leave their country due to war and isolation. The show pairs these artists with local counterparts who have interpreted and physically realized their works, bridging the geographical and political divide. The project, titled 'Through the Hands of Strangers,' underscores the resilience of artistic expression under duress and the power of collaborative creation. The Brick, a nonprofit art space in Los Angeles, hosts the exhibition, which opened on September 3, 2026. The initiative highlights the challenges faced by artists in conflict zones and the creative solutions that emerge from solidarity within the international art community.
