Resulting in an exhibition and a catalogue entitled Valleys of the Simorgh, in which we traversed the seven valleys of Attar in a transhistorical manner. Artists involved were: #marenamini #tanjaboukal #monikahuber #alikazim #anahitarazmi #mohsinshafi #farkhondehshahroudi
Throughout the last semester, my students and I explored the political sphere of #Attar’s tale #conferenceofthebirds and its relevance to our present day. It is about the power of the collective, the challenges of leaving the familiar behind and overcoming hurdles together.
