Avant-garde Flags and Visions of Sara Rahbar
Sara Rahbar was born in Tehran Iran in 1976. She left Iran with her family during the revolution in the
beginning of the Iran Iraq war. But having to escape her own country, leave her family behind, and
abandon her home because of a war, and a revolution that had nothing to do with her, left a gap in her.

through her work she is addressing it.

various galleries, and museums all over the world. Her work was featured at the Queens Museum of Art

Middle East, in which a documentary about the youth culture of Iran called, Nobody’s Enemy done by

Times and other publications. Click here to view Sara's Flag series
