PRIZE | Sheida Soleimani

Winner of the 2025 MAST Photography Grant on Industry and Work
Congratulations to Sheida Soleimani, who won the 2025 MAST Photography Grant on Industry and Work with her Flyways series (2024 - ongoing). This grant is awarded to artists under 35, who were asked this year to develop a new project on the theme of "industry, society, and territory". Soleimani's Flyways imagines escape routes from a world that is increasingly bent on destruction; her images are composed of elements from the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran, as well as birds who were injured in collisions with man-made structures. 
 
Her work is on view at the MAST Photo Gallery from January 30 - May 5th, 2025.
