Maryam Khastoo
Home
Where do we call home? As a dual national (British Iranian) living in Wales for over 20 years, this has preoccupied me much of my life. I decided to move to Tehran, Iran in 2010. I intended my stay to give me a better understanding of my Iranian side. My time spent living in Tehran was defined by changing states of mind. The contrast between secluded spaces and the palpable tension of public spaces felt distinctly noticeable. The relief of feeling at ease, ensconced in the home, café or on a trip with friends, gave these spaces distinct character and value within the cacophony of Iranian life. I returned to capture an honest, non-exoticised, personal portrayal of memories and identity
