The Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis, is proud to present Shiva Ahmadi: Strands of Resilience, on view through May 6, 2024. Ahmadi, a professor of art at UC Davis, uses painting as a form of truth-telling, combining luminous colors and mystical beings with violent imagery to draw attention to urgent global issues of migration, war and brutality against marginalized peoples.
