Exhibits

Here are some places where my work has been and where it will be.

Envisioning Human Rights

April 23, 2014 – September 21, 2014
Berkeley Art Museum
www.bampfa.berkeley.edu

From the BAM/PFA website:

Envisioning Human Rights: The Next Generation includes paintings, photographs, and prints by emerging artist/activists from across the state, addressing critical human rights issues. In conjunction with this juried exhibition, we are also presenting a selection of works from the Abu Ghraib series by world-renowned artist Fernando Botero that the artist generously donated to BAM/PFA in recognition of Berkeley’s historic role in the arena of human rights. Four paintings from the same series are also on view at Boalt Hall. A related invitational exhibition, featuring works by internationally acclaimed human rights photographers who have worked with the Human Rights Center over the past two decades, will be presented at the Boalt Law Gallery in fall 2014.

Double//Take

April 16, 2014 – April 26, 2014
Worth Ryder Art Gallery
www.art.berkeley.edu

Allan deSouza, from the UC Berkeley Art Practice website:

This exhibition utilizes photography in a variety of ways but proceeds from the “double take,” a second look that further complicates Sontag’s observation of photography as transparent, that seems to self-evidently provide a window onto the world. The artists in the exhibition are “taking” photographs, but also performing a doubling action. Their second look is one that re-views, re-photographs, re-configures, re-invents an already existing image or text; something that exists because it has been selected by a previous artist, photographer, poet, cartoonist, or by public usage or even by government institutions.

From the Spring 2014 Letter from the Editor:

Perspective Magazine is a student-run publication at the University of California, Berkeley with the goal of uniting the diaspora community of Iranians living throughout the United States, specifically in Berkeley and the Bay Area. The aim of the works incorporated is to highlight topics related to Iran, Iranians, and Iranian-Americans.

From The Creative Consciousness event page:

The Art & Science DeCal in conjunction with the Synesthesia Association at Berkeley will be hosting its first art show and science exhibit showcasing original student artwork for members of the community intrigued by the intersections between art and science.We hope to foster a sense of community and interdisciplinary appreciation through exploring science through art and art through science, witnessing all the ways it applies from everything to medicine, cartography, technology and beyond… Come explore these two dynamic fields and the connections they exhibit in a new and conscious way.
