The Grandmother at Namak Abroud connects cultural memory and the arrival of spring with a large-scale installation. Its restoration under SARAAJ’s management illustrates the renewal of memorable markers within a tourism setting.
This urban element symbolizes the cultural nostalgia of different decades. In the beginning of spring, the grandmother makes a garment of flowers on the green space and the nature of Namak Abroud. Showing the old traditions and nostalgia is very pleasant for all of us. This urban element is made 5 times the actual size.
Saraaj Center for the Creation and Development of Art Spaces, with the aim of reconstructing urban elements that had problems due to lack of culture and the time that had passed, has reconstructed 10 urban elements in the tourist recreational city of Namak Abroud and has reconstructed these statues with the help of artists at Saraaj center.
This project is designed and implemented in the form of urban element, along with other projects of developing artistic touristic projects, including decoration, permanent and temporary elements, by the order of Namak Abroud city management. The management of this project was the responsibility of the Saraaj Center for Creation and Development of Art Spaces. Other projects of Namak Abroud urban elements include the following:
The “Cable car” element
The “I am fine” element
The “I am Namak Abroud” element
The “Namak Abroud bench” element
The “Red Riding Hood” element
The “Minions” element
The “Shaun the Sheep” element
The “Up” element
The “Cow Riding” element
