Crescendo: Katayoun Karami’s Art Exhibition in Pune

Vida Heydari Contemporary presents Crescendo, a solo exhibition by renowned Iranian artist Katayoun Karami, running from 27 September to 25 October 2025. 

Rooted in the movement ‘ #عليه_فراموشى ‘ (Against Forgetting), Katayoun Karami’s work transforms memory into a quiet act of defiance. 

Through daily writing and repetition, she builds a living archive—one that honors resilience, solidarity and the strength of collective remembrance. Her open studio becomes a shared space of care, inviting viewers to walk beside her in imagining a freer, more peaceful world. 

The exhibition opens with a preview on Saturday, 27 September 2025, 7:00–9:00 PM, with the artist in attendance.

Katayoun Karami: Weaving Memory into Art

Katayoun Karami, born in Tehran in 1967, is a contemporary Iranian artist whose work gently explores memory, identity and the strength of shared experience.

With a background in architecture from Ankara, she brings a deep sense of space and structure to her art. Through photography, installations and mixed media, Katayoun Karami reflects on how women’s stories connect with history and society. Her creations speak softly yet powerfully of resilience, often shaped by real lives and collective memory. 

Exhibited across Iran and abroad—from Tehran to Amsterdam—with solo and group shows in Tehran, Tabriz, Amsterdam, Dubai and Pune, her art continues to inspire reflection and dialogue.  Katayoun Karami lives and works in Tehran.
