Co-directed by the artists’ daughter, Sara Nodjoumi and her partner Till Schauder, the film explores the mystery of over 100 missing works in Iran by Nicky Nodjoumi and the story of this family of artists whose lives were forever altered by the surrounding controversy. Following the screening, exhibition curator, Amy Kisch, will lead an in depth tour of Nicky Nodjoumi: The Personal is Political and Nahid Hagigat: Etched in Time, on view in the YBCA Galleries.
