SUMMARY:Elena Masrour - Waking Up Was the Worst Idea?!
DESCRIPTION:“Waking Up Was the Worst Idea?” presents fifteen intaglio prints that examine the psychological and political impact of religious propaganda\, censorship\, and authoritarian control in post-revolutionary Iran—especially as experienced by Iranian women. Through layered symbolism and a blend of surrealism with comic book aesthetics\, the series explores resistance\, memory\, identity\, and the emotional burden of awakening. By drawing on the visual language of American comics\, I invite viewers to a more accessible entry point where playfulness and critique coexist\, highlighting the surreal contradictions that women navigate under systemic restrictions. Masrour is in the Martin McDonald Hall Gallery from September 4 – October 31\, 2026.
