Our HOW TO TOUCH GRASS anthology includes a small cohort of creators in Iran. For obvious reasons, today's interview with writer Negin K. Manesh feels bittersweet.
Her story is one of joy and traditional connections with the grass of Mazandaran: buff.ly/PuJ2VVl

Creatives are a vital part of our community and yet we regularly get overlooked and treated like our jobs are unimportant. Meanwhile every little thing around us had to pass through the hands of a creative at some point.
Nothing would exist without us. The world would go dark without art.

As a collection, How To Touch Grass brings together so many diverse takes on grass, on community building, on self-care, on history itself...!
