Open Weekends throughout January from 11th
To mark both Spring in Cardiff and the turning of New Year in Persian Culture, we are presenting an evening of Music and poetry, amongst a display of work by two Iranian visual Artists based in Cardiff
Nowruz evening : Thursday 20 March 6.30 - 10.30pm
(TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR)
Nowruz exhibition : 20-29 March
To celebrate Nowruz, (Persian New Year) we're hosting a special evening of live music on 20.03.25, showcasing the modern & traditional with Welsh Iranian singer songwriter Parisa Fouladi, Amin and Sazava.
In the gallery we'll also have a special pop-up exhibition of prints and crafts from Iranian artist Mana Baoosh and Mitra Maheri, alongside a Patteh embroidering workshop that will take place on 29.03.25.
Join Mitra for a workshop embroidering felt earrings and hairclips in the traditions of Iranian Patteh. In this workshop you will learn to embroider your own pair of Paisley earrings or hairclips for those who don't have pierced ears.
Traditional Patteh is embroidered on handwoven red woollen fabric and has a set colour pallet of yellows, white, black, purples and blues. It holds ancient symbols like the Botteh Jegheh (Paisley), a traditional motif originating in Iran and based on the Cypress tree or "Sarv". This long and slender tree looks to be reaching towards heaven, so it has come to represent the connection between the earth and the holy unknown, which stands as a symbol of resilience.
The workshop will take place on Saturday the 29.03.25 from 11am to 1pm in Cardiff M.A.D.E. Materials provided / Tickets £10 each
