Taravat Talepasand's

Peace in the Middle East

has returned as a permanent installation in YBCA's Grand Lobby. Hung from the ceiling, this intricate neon artwork, featuring the word "peace" in Farsi, explores the cultural taboos that reflect on gender and political authority through Talepasand's lens as an Iranian-American woman.

Best Viewing: Step inside any time that the YBCA is open (Thursday - Sunday, Noon - 6 p.m.)
