Beyond Persia’s “Celluloid” in San Francisco
They’ve only been around for about a year, but Beyond Persia is already making waves in the Bay Area with their frequent arts and culture events. Their latest offering is Celluloid, a film and photography exhibit running at Gallery One in San Francisco through September 8. The event includes prominent Iranian-American artists Shadi Yousefian, Sara Rahbar, Dustin Ellis, and Ahmad Kiarostami, among others.
Beyond Persia’s mission is to “provide a venue for contemporary Iranian-American artists an opportunity to show-case, promote and sell their art to the public who are interested in collecting and acquiring art produced by Iranians living outside Iran.” To this end, the artists come from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life, collectively carving a new niche in Iranian-American art.
