Sohrab Kashani

[1] Super Sohrab,[2] Kashani’s alter-ego is a superhero who utilises satire and failure in their attempts to navigate the everyday challenges of daily life.

[4][5] Super Sohrab also arm-wrestles in public to challenge and discuss power dynamics and sets up lifting workshops to practice resilience and resistance.

[16][17] Emerging in the aftermath of a global pandemic and a period of shared devastation, during which concerns about the unequal distribution of vaccines became pressing issues, Darookhaneh Apotheke Pharmacy makes a link to the Iranian concept of "darookhaneh" ("daroo" (medicine/cure) and "khaneh" (home) = "the home for cure"), testing out what it can enable for hybrid artistic work during crisis.

Bringing together selected speakers, collaborators, and the public, Darookhaneh Apotheke Pharmacy fosters discussions and conversations on these critical topics and their larger contexts.

Sazmanab also holds talks and presentations at universities, museums, and institutions and takes part in international panels, seminars, and forums.
