About

The 2024 FANA solo exhibition brought together drawing, comics, moving image, projection, video mapping, and installation across two floors of Shamis Gallery in Tehran.

Rather than presenting separate works, the exhibition treated the gallery as a single evolving environment, allowing visitors to move through different fragments of the FANA world across image, space, narrative, and motion.

The exhibition expanded FANA beyond the page and screen, establishing it as an interdisciplinary universe capable of moving between cinema, visual art, comics, installation, and spatial storytelling.

The project was met with an exceptional audience response and became an important milestone in the development of FANA as a long-term artistic world.
