SHEKARE AZADI (Chasing Freedom) is an interdisciplinary project which formed over the course of 2022, where Roxanna Albayati spent the year interrogating different environments and herself within these spaces. This personal as well as location-based journey explored her ever-evolving concept of identity, freedom and becoming. From Dubai, to Armenia, to Sicily, Roxanna ended the journey in Portugal as Zaratan's artist in resident, presenting her work alongside the backdrop of the current uprising in Iran, where Iranian’s are fighting for “Zan, Zendegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom).”
The project took the shape of a multimédia installation and a live performance, with Rebecca Moradalizadeh and Rodrigo B. Camacho.
Composed of words, photos, timelines, videos and music collected during the last year, the audiovisual installation '٨ SKETCHES' was directly entangled with the live performance, serving as a score for the construction of the live performance.
This project is dedicated to the women of Iran, who are fighting for
Women Life Freedom
زن زندگی آزادی
