The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is honored to exhibit Maryam Safajoo’s painting series on the persecution of Baha’is in Iran in an exhibition titled Our Story is One. Accompanied by artifacts of those imprisoned, they tell a powerful story of injustice and violence, paired with hope, resilience and survival. Maryam’s tempered color palette provides a subtle introduction to a subject of cruelty, a contrast allowing viewers to absorb its content with sad contemplation, rather than reactive shock. The latter’s prevalence in today’s media, has numbed many viewers’ sensitivity to similar subjects, toughened to seeing atrocities regularly.
