MOORE CONTEMPORARY is pleased to announce The End is Glorious if We Only Persevere by ELHAM ESHRAGHIAN-HAAKANSSON is now on view.

Eshraghian-Haakansson graduated from UWA with first class honours in 2017 and is nearing completion of her master's by research. Her work has been selected for numerous national showings and has been recognised with early career awards. In 2018 she was awarded the Dr Harold Schenberg Art Fellowship associated with the Hatched Exhibition at PICA, and in 2019 was a finalist in the John Stringer Prize. In 2020 she was the overall winner of the Joondalup Invitation Art Prize.

In that year Eshraghian-Haakansson also co-founded and is a lead artist of the Second Generation Collective, which brings together, through creative pursuits, the generation of children born of parents displaced by the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The Iranian diaspora and its cultural and emotional implications is a key exploration within her work. Her sophisticated and commanding film work is often built from personal narrative merged with archived footage, and yet is ultimately a poetic and expressive meditation upon the desire for universal values of empathy.

The three channel video The End is Glorious, If We Only Persevere is accompanied with a new series of six block mounted photographs.
