This year, I have gathered a collection of postcards from 1970 to 1995, all from \u201cThe Aftab Archive\u201d Sent from Spain, Germany, USA, Eastern Europe, etc., these cards carry personal messages, visual trends of their time and fragments of a culture long forgotten in our digital world. This wonderful Archive, thoughtfully organized to be read and appreciated by postcard lovers, is currently being displayed at an open studio event at the artist\u2019s studio, the same address to which the postcards were originally sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicationn-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicationn-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicationn-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicationn-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicationn-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicationn-2-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"182\" src=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedication2.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicatioon-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicatioon-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicatioon-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicatioon-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dedicatioon.jpg 821w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-180 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.9-3-scaled.jpg 1978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/rojanoarjooni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a-small-dedication.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Studio event<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A display of postcards from The Aftab Archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video By Sara Adnani<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feb,2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been making postcards for each Nowruz since 2013 and this has become a ritual and a way of showing affection towards people around me.
