مشیانه  (Mašiyāne) نام نخستین زن در فرهنگ ایران باستان برابر با حوا در اسطوره های سامی است.

تندیس و سنگ نگاره و نقش برجسته های زنان بازمانده از تمدن های عتیق با تقدس زن در اساطیر جهان و در نقش خدای بانوان زندگی و باروری پیوند دارند. انسان عصر سنگ، میان توانمندی بارداری زن و باروری زمین پیوندی استوار می دید و چنین بود که خدابانوان در اساطیر سرزمین های مختلف به ویژه در آغاز عصر نوسنگی پدیدار و نیایش ایزد بانوی باروری شکل گرفت.

به احتمال زیاد زن سالاری دست کم از آغاز عصر نوسنگی هسته اجتماعی اقتصادی مردم ایران را شکل می داد.

با گذشت سده ها و هزاره ها و تطور امور اجتماعی بسیار، جامعه و اعتقادات از نیمه دوم هزاره دوم پیش از مسیح دچار یک رشته تغییر گشت و با رواج قدرت قبایل مرد سالار آریایی و نیز سامی، شرایط تبدیل جوامع زن سالار به جوامع مرد سالار فراهم  گشت .

اسطوره مشیانه در دورانی شکل میگیرد که زن سالاری جای خود را به مرد سالاری داده است دورانی که اقتدار سیاسی اجتماعی با مردان است و جامعه پدر سالار  شکل گرفته است و حق مالکیت قضاوت و پیشوایی در اختیار مردان است.

 مجموعه پیشرو در ادامه کنکاش های نقاش در بیان اساطیرایرانی است که این بار، با تمرکزبر جایگاه زن در اسطوره ها صورت گرفته است که نگاهی دقیق تر به آثار، دریافتی نزدیک به وضعیت زن در جامعه معاصر را در پی خواهد داشت.

این مجموعه جهان انسانی را با عناصری پر رمز و راز تصویر کرده است که در آن گویی قدرت، زنان را ترک کرده است، قدرتی که در اثر تغییرات شرایط محیط در زندگی بشر از آنها سلب شده یا در حال گریختن است و آنان با نگرانی به این سرنوشت تنهایی خیره شده اند.

Mašiyāne is the name of the first woman in the culture of the Ancient Persia, with Eve being its equivalent in Semitic mythologies. 

Having survived the antique civilizations, statues and high reliefs and sculptures of women are connected to sanctity of woman in the world’s mythologies and in the role of the goddesses of life and fertility. The Stone Age man realized a strong connection between the fertility of women and the fecundity of earth and hence, goddesses began to emerge in the mythologies of various lands, particularly at the beginning of the Neolithic Age and thus, worships for the goddess of fertility was created.

It is highly likely that at least at the beginning of the Neolithic Age, matriarchy was at the core of social and economic lives of Iranian people. With the passage of centuries and millenniums and many social alterations and since the second half of the second millennium B.C., the society and beliefs have gone through a string of change, and with the prevalence of the patriarchal power of Semitic and Aryan tribes, conditions were prepared for the matriarchal societies to turn into patriarchal ones.

The mythical figure, Mašiyāne, is formed in an era, in which matriarchy is replaced by patriarchy and the political and social powers are in the hands of men; the patriarchal society is formed and the right to judge and lead is possessed by men.

The presented collection is a continuation of the painter’s explorations to express the Persian myths, the central point of which is, this time, on women’s place in mythologies that eventually will result in closer looks at the art works and a better perception of women’s status in the contemporary society.

This collection has illustrated a human world with mysterious elements, in which power has seemingly abandoned the women; the very power, that, as a result of the changes in the environmental conditions in human lives, women are being deprived of it or are escaping from it and they are only worryingly staring at this destiny of solitude.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
