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.
Please find more information about the grant and the project here.
