The bus departs at 1:00 pm for a trip to the Rose Art Museum to see the exhibit: Arghavan Khosravi: Black Rain. Arghavan Khosravi: Black Rain, the artist’s first significant museum survey, presents a comprehensive display of Khosravi’s meteoric trajectory from her student days, when she “doodled” on the pages of her Iranian passport, through her bold experimentations with multipaneled reliefs, to her monumental sculptures produced for this exhibition. Known for weaving Persian motifs with surreal iconography, Khosravi deftly blends East and West, past and present, religious and secular, reality and fantasy, aligning the artist’s deeply-felt internal schisms and sense of paradox with the political strife of the present moment. According to the artist, “contradiction” is one word that sums up her work. Approximate return: 3:00 pm. Fee: $5 for transportation.
