VOGUE series, Rabee Baghshani, Al-Tiba9 Gallery
Rabee Baghshani is a digital artist from Mashhad, Iran, who has never left the country. She explores the intersection of cultural heritage, gender, and identity through digital collages that combine the rich history of Persian art with Western pop culture. Often juxtaposing Qajar figures in modern settings, she reflects on the fluidity of tradition and the evolving nature of cultural identity.
As one of the few female digital artists in Iran, Baghshani’s work also addresses themes of freedom and female empowerment, challenging social norms and gender restrictions. Her recent series, Women, focuses on amplifying women’s voices—particularly within the Iranian context—highlighting their resilience and strength in the face of oppression.
Through her art, Baghshani initiates a dialogue on the complexities of identity, the power of self-expression, and the ongoing struggle for gender equality.

Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art Gallery
Al-Tiba9 was founded in 2013 by curator Mohamed Benhadj to address contemporary art, performance, and fashion design, and it announced the opening of its art gallery in the historic center of Barcelona on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. The Born neighbourhood hosts Al-Tiba9's main headquarters, including a print art magazine focusing on contemporary international artists who engender new visions about possible futures. Mohamed Benhadj's gallery, which operates under Al-Tiba9 Contemporary, is the first international art gallery founded by an Algerian curator in Barcelona.
The space was built by José Fontseré Mestre, a figure of the Catalan modernism, and has 300 m2. Likewise, it is located five minutes from the Picasso Museum, Moco Museum, MEAM European Museum of Modern Art, and El Born CCM. The gallery seeks to be a bridge between the MENA region and Europe, a solid link between the East and the West by offering the world a unique experience of creativity, possibility, and growth like no other around the globe.
