Tahmineh Monzavi is a young award-winning photographer with a lot under her belt. Born in 1988 in Tehran, Monzavi began a professional career as a documentary photographer in 2005 after her studies at Azad University. She documented addicted women living in shelters in the outskirts of Tehran as well as transexualism and its never ending struggle to fit into the social and cultural boundaries of Iranian Society. However, Monzavi’s outlook on her work was changed after a month of imprisonment in Tehran. A year after the event, she produced ‘All About Me: Nicknamed Crown Giver’. Outside of Iran, Monzavi has exhibited at the Modern Art Museum of Paris as well as in Rome, Vienna, Boston, and Seoul. The Public House of Art is proud to exhibit her works and bring her message to Amsterdam and beyond.
