Iranian Artist Hasti Rajabi's First Solo Show 'Becoming' Opens in Pune
Imagine an artist named Hasti from Iran who loves to draw and paint.
She had a tough life: she got married very young, became a mom when she was still a kid herself, and later got divorced.
Life in Iran can be hard for women, with many strict rules.
Hasti decided to move to India to start over.
Here, she began to use her art to show how women can grow and become stronger, even after difficult times like divorce.
Her art is like a message saying that women are amazing and can do anything.
Her very first big art show, called 'Becoming', is now in a gallery in Pune, India, and it's all about her journey and helping other women feel powerful.
Iranian artist Hasti Rajabi's first solo exhibition, titled 'Becoming', is on display at Pune's Vesavar Art Gallery until November 11.
The exhibition showcases Rajabi's personal journey of transformation, emotion, and evolving identity.
Rajabi uses her art to inspire and empower women to express themselves freely and fearlessly.
She moved to India after experiencing a difficult life in Iran, including an early marriage, motherhood, divorce, and the country's strict rules for women.
Rajabi aims to convey through her art that women are strong and capable, especially during challenging life events.
