Acts within the exhibition

Whisper of the Arches — an interactive installation designed by Fati Pourkasra with music by Hamed Malek, Friday 28 August 2026, in two sessions at 17:30 and 19:00. The work is not complete without the visitor: it turns the distance between two people into a living space that receives a whisper, transforms it, and returns it as music. As the work is interactive, punctual arrival was required. Part of “As Long as There Is Sound” at the first Tehran Art Month.

The Line That Became Sound — a guitar and synthesizer improvisation by Mani Gholami and Faraz Razavi, Friday 4 September 2026, in two sessions at 17:30 and 19:00. Mani Gholami appears twice in this exhibition: once in colour, once in sound; the third act is where the two meet. What is heard is improvised — the colour stays on the wall, the sound does not.
