Art that traveled far, wide: Smith College exhibit showcases venerable art from the Persianate world
Before it became recognized by its modern name in 1935, Iran was known for centuries — at least in the western world — as Persia, a name that reflected the language of the same name and the culture that was part of it.
In the 1970s, academics coined another term — Persianate — to describe a society based on or influenced by Persian language and culture, as well as literature and art. That influence, scholars say, extended well beyond the physical boundaries of Persia/Iran for hundreds of years.
A new exhibit at the Smith College Museum of Art takes a close look at some of that art, tracing work that in many cases dates back hundreds of years and which connected people and ideas across a region stretching from Iran to modern-day India and Bangladesh.

Art Works Gallery continues its visionary mission to support the promising careers of exceptional young talents with an upcoming exhibition dubbed Perception. Perception aims to answer the question of how three young London-based contemporary visual artists articulate (or “perceive”) the visual representation of reality on the surface of their canvases. Running from 24 October to 24 November at One Holland Village, visitors will be allowed an insight into how each of the three artists — Araminta Blue, Callum Harvey and Max Boyla — offers a distinct response through their unique practice, challenging conventional notions of form, space and meaning.
