Hookah House Puzzle by Orkideh Torabi

In Iran-born, Brooklyn based, artist Orkideh Torabi’s Hookah Housewe see the unfolding of vibrant scenes across multiple rooms of men drinking, smoking, and gabbing away in their safe space away from the womenfolk. The narrative here is culled from Torabi’s memories of gender segregated spaces in Iran and features her ever growing cast of male characters, men both good and not so good- some just plain ridiculous- enjoying their little man-made worlds.
