Closing Reception + Poetry Reading: February 24th, 6 – 7:30 PM

“The Moon Belongs to Everyone, a solo exhibition of photography by Stacy Arezou Mehrfar, curated by Allie Haeusslein. The Moon Belongs to Everyone speaks to the experience of immigration and diaspora, to the physical and emotional implications of reimagining home, belonging, and community while mourning what is lost in that process. A first-generation Iranian-American, Mehrfar grew up on Long Island, navigating the challenges of reconciling two distinct cultures. Shortly after her thirtieth birthday, she emigrated to Australia, a relocation that left her feeling out of place. She assumed her return to New York a decade later would be a homecoming; instead, she felt estranged, time away rendering the landscape unfamiliar. Though Mehrfar’s personal experience informs her approach, the work adopts a universal perspective rooted in the evocative rather than the specific.”
