#Kaveh_Golestan - The #Citadel
Kaveh Golestan (1950-2003) was an important and prolific Iranian documentary photographer and a pioneer of #street_photography. His photographic practice has hugely informed the work of future generations of Iranian artists but has remained seriously over-looked in Europe. The Citadel presents 45 vintage photographs from the series entitled Prostitute taken between 1975-1977 of women working in the Citadel of #Shahr-e_No, the #red_light_district of #Tehran. The photographs will be exhibited for the first time as a vintage set since 1978. Alongside the photographs, the exhibition will include original diaries of Golestan, newspaper clippings and audio interviews that he collected from and relating to the area.
