AFFSOONGAR means "charmer," "enchanter," or "captivator" in Farsi. It can also carry connotations of a "femme fatale," a powerful woman seeking revenge against injustice.
The term is notably associated with self-taught Iranian artist who goes by the name of Affsoongar. The artist, born in 1999, chose this persona to explore themes and create works that are not openly permissible in Iran. Her work often features female protagonists in settings which challenge traditional narratives and societal constraints.
Jim Whitten behind the art brand, SNFFBX, guest curates COMBAT.
"Listening to Chino of Deftones scream, 'Whose side are you on?'. Checking my phone for the title of the song... Combat. This seemed like the right title with the right question at the right time. With the help of twelve artists, I am creating two sides ready to face off."
-Jim Whitten.
