An Iranian artist's innovative work has revived the ancient Iran-Kashmir relations at an international contemporary art workshop.
Touraj Khameneh-Zadeh hung old Sufi images on a Srinagar Chinar tree (the symbolic tree of Kashmir) to revive the ancient relationship of Iranians with the Kashmiris.
His work called, 'Seven Boughs of Chinars' presented seven portraits of Iranian Sufis superimposed on pictures of seven famous Sufi shrines in Kashmir.
The portraits show 700 years of Sufism history. International Artists Workshop, which ran until Nov. 11th, 2007 in Srinagar, is the first of its kind in the valley's history.
Local, Indian and international artists presented their art works during the 15-day workshop aimed at 'breaking the monotony of the traditional canvas painting'.
Kashmir valley lies between the Himalayas and the Pir Punjab mountain range. Called 'Paradise on Earth', Kashmir attracts millions of tourists with its many archeological sites and beautiful mountainous landscapes.
