It’s already February! Boston museums are reopening so we'll have more exhibits to highlight for you. Of course many events remain virtual, which is fine because it means that I won’t have to go outside and face the frigid air or mushy snow. Here’s a mix of events taking place in the next days that might inspire you to create something yourself!
Through Feb. 13
Shabnam Jannesari, an Iranian-born and Massachusetts-based artist, has her first solo exhibition at Gallery 263 in Cambridge. As a child, I never realized I could see art in small galleries — I thought that’s what museums were for. But galleries are where you often find the gems. In "The Carpet Grew Like A Garden," Jannesari depicts the life she left behind in Iran. The paintings reflect her personal story, intertwined with the stories of Iranian women who have been suppressed. Jannesari's works of art are executed in ink or oil paint, and her very vibrant, saturated and warm hues will capture your attention.
