Shab-Nameh: Women of Iran’s Forgotten Left (2026)
These two research-based works draw on fragments from the archives of the final years of imperial Iran and the early post-revolutionary period. Weaving together textual traces, personal memory and cinematic imagination, Tafakory reveals what has been obscured by censorship and political repression. Rather than reconstructing the past, her poetic practice inhabits its silences, creating space for alternative histories and forgotten political imaginaries to emerge.
