Virtual Exhibit: Conventions: An Exhibition of Works by Tirazheh Eslami

Eslami’s work is a bridge between my past and present. She seeks to broaden cultural awareness, specifically to communicate to Western society the richness and beauty of her own Persian culture. Eslami hopes to build a chronicle, which successfully encapsulates Persian history and symbolic cultural events. She is inspired, changed and challenged by the experience of living in two different cultures. The marriage of these experiences is at the center of her studio work. In order to effectively craft this connection, she has studied and relied on hybrid identity theory to justify and explore the multicultural experience.
