Exhibition of photographs 'Focus on: body, voice, woman' by Roksaneh E. Fotovat
Iranian photographer and filmmaker, Roksaneh Emma Fotovat develops a visual work around the flamencoflamenco, understood as a living art, a language of the body, and a space for transmission. Through photography and film, she explores the movement, presence, and place of women in flamenco culture, between dance, the cante and daily life in Andalusia.
Her work encompasses several series, including FlamenCuerpo, dedicated to the moving body, and AndaLuz — Fotogramas, a sensitive photographic freshness created during her early years in Andalusia. Between body, voice, and territory, her vision is constructed from an intimate, non-documentary approach, attentive to gestures, silences, and the memory of flamenco lived. This focus is dedicated to Iranian women and all women, whose bodies and voices carry a history of freedom and resistance. #womanlifefreedom
Exhibition open to the public during business hours, Monday to Saturday, in our Space Expoflamenco.
