BAHAR BEHBAHANI

November 19, 2025

4.10 PM – 6.00 PM

403 KNOX HALL

Bahar Behbahani is an Iranian-born, Brooklyn-based artist whose practice explores landscape as a metaphor for memory, exile, and resilience, revealing the parallels and tensions between historiography and contemporary sociopolitical dynamics. Through the principles of the Persian garden, she traces a historical maze of pragmatic and spiritual meanings, linking ancestral knowledge, the social history of plants, and the links between climate exile and water management.
