Returning to her hometown Cincinnati, Sheida Soleimani presents What a Revolutionary Must Know, a solo exhibition bringing together her complete Ghostwriter series for the first time. Combining photography, sculpture, and video, the works reconstruct her parents’ escape from Iran’s totalitarian regime through staged environments and surreal visual codes. What begins as a deeply personal narrative unfolds into a language of resistance, remembrance, and political reckoning. This exhibition also marks the debut of Soleimani’s moving image works in a museum context.
