Disturbing the public opinion

2011-07-02T11:45:00.000-07:00

I've participated in The event, Disturbing the Public Opinion, which through works and actions of its participants, whom live or have lived in Iran, challenges the aforementioned planes and their legitimacy. It sheds new light and offers a critical reading of the broad spectrum of issues and concerns. The audience encounters diverse forms of expression, such as drawing, painting,performance, theatre,film, video, found and altered objects, action, photography, poetry and more.
Disturbing the Public Opinion is curated by Barbad Golshiri and is realised in dialogue with Röda Sten Art Centre’s curator Edi Muka.

Here is some images of my wall painting :
