Amirali Ghasemi lives and works in Tehran, where he trained as a graphic designer. The series Parties shows young Iranians socialising in private homes, their faces and other exposed flesh blocked out to protect their identities and also to call attention to the subversive nature of their actions under the current regime. Ghasemi states that depending on their contexts, his works 'are interpreted very differently and associated with subjects such as censorship, women's rights, the hijab, and Islam'.
