Banoo: Iranian Women and Their Stories

Samaneh Khosravi, born in 1984 in Iran, relocated to Germany in 2008. As a photographer and visual researcher, Khosravi has dedicated over a decade to examining the self- and external perception of women residing in Iran. Throughout this period, she has delved into diverse facets of this subject, capturing and documenting them from various perspectives through the medium of photography. Since early 2022, Khosravi has been conducting further research in this regard, with a special focus on Generation Z as part of her doctoral studies at the University of Göttingen and the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Her first book Among Women, about Iranian women and their views on beauty ideals, was published in 2015. And her photography projects have been featured in prominent publications. Today Samaneh Khosravi lives and works in Bochum.
