Global Day of Action
About
Join Persian artists from the RISD community for a rare opportunity to explore and discuss ritual and revolution at home and abroad. Provost Touba Ghadessi will introduce an engaging presentation by artist Jay Davani (RISD CEC 2009) and an interactive discussion with fellow Iranian artists Saman Sajasi (RISD BFA 2013 Painting), Maedeh Tafvizi Zavare (RISD MFA 2024 Ceramics), and former faculty member Sheida Soleimani.
Discover the interplay between ancient traditions and modern revolutions, and the hidden narratives that have shaped Iran's dynamic landscape over time. Explore the cultural exchange and artistic influences that have transcended borders, and engage in meaningful conversations that highlight the universal themes of change, resilience, and transformation.
Light refreshments provided by Shish Kabob will be available following the program.
Free. To attend this in-person program registration is requested.
