IWIN ART GROUP
IWIN (Iranian Women in NZ) Charitable Art Group are a group of nine artists, with different skills and background in art, working together to combine various print techniques to tell Iranian stories.
For Printopia 2024 the group has chosen to depict the famous Persian romance between the Sasanian king Khosrow II and Armenian princess Shirin, who becomes queen of Persia (Persian: خسرو و شیرین) as told by the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi (1141–1209).
Scenes from this historic love story, along with classic motifs from the Sasanic era, have been created through digital illustrations, silkscreen and woodcuts, printed onto paper, fabric and wood.
