Sayeh Sarfaraz est une artiste en arts visuels qui vit et travaille à Montréal depuis 2008. Sayeh Sarfaraz presente une nouvelle installation intitulée Étrange dictature. Étrange dictature est en exposition au MAI — Montréal, arts interculturels — depuis le 19 janvier. Étrange dictature est la sixième exposition de Sayeh Sarfaraz qui est consacrée aux thèmes de la dictature et à la contestation. L’installation surtout met en évidence l’histoire collective des prisonniers politiques en Iran. Depuis l’élection contestée de Mahmoud Ahmadinejad en 2009, plusieurs centaines de personnes ont été condamnées lors de procès collectives. A travers Étrange dictature, Sayeh Sarfaraz met en relief la violence des gouvernements, ainsi que les manifestations de résistence d’un peuple.
