The new exhibition entitled “PHOTO BY M. SAYAD” is being held at Nabshi Center in the summer of 2020. Consisting of two parts, the photos revolved around two subject matters: the Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War. More than a hundred shots are included in each section in a documentary, news-like fashion, narrating stories of these two important events, both of which have the potential of being immortalized as historic icons. After “The Land of Bewilderment,” which depicted the afflictions of Kurdish refugees and immigrants that sought asylum in Iran under Saddam’s regime, this is the second exhibition of Sayyad’s press photographs at Nabshi Center.
