In this exposition I’m showing you my journey for these past two years of investigating my artistic practice through the meeting of identity and aesthetics.
Due to my Iranian background, I have felt a need and curiosity to bring together my Iranian and European identities. This project is a dialogue between myself and music, encompassing sounds, arrangements, physical presence, materiality, technology, context, and politics.
By politics I mean; history, cultural appropriation, diversity, colonisation, beliefs, and the current needs of the western culture.
A project involving confrontations with habits, default parameters, and elements within digital audio workspaces, thereby incorporating scales.

"How can illustration approach the non-representable?"
The question is linked to ways of commemorating the children who died during the Holocaust and what kind of representations could be appropriate. As part of a workshop drawing process, information is unfolded about children whose existence was previously documented only by the ghetto archives and the deportation lists made by the Nazi-German administration of Litzmannstadt ghetto.
The methodology has been developed though workshops. In the final step of part I, the project investigates how the material may be developed to a book/archive.

Since the Covid19 pandemic began, we have to wear a mask to protect ourselves. Not being able to see full facial expressions and hear the voice can be crucial to the interaction of speaking a second language. Additionally, with most of our physical routines online, it has become impossible to see the whole body, making it difficult to observe non-verbal messages. This thesis explores the ideas of how we can communicate more efficiently if the current phenomenon continues. How could we communicate when our language delivery is impaired?
It argues that communication obstruction caused by the mask worn can be overcome
with bodily communication with gestures and eye contact. Gestures as a symbolic action and eye contact as a window by emotionally synchronising brain waves require a deeper level of contextual and emotional exchange. Empathising from a desire to understand and to be understood can break a blockage by connecting together. Furthermore, the thesis suggests what mindset and position we need to take when experiencing difficulties of cultural differences during bodily communication. If we keep the gestures simple and embrace the embodied cultures and co-learn the diversities, we can go beyond language and connect globally.

Expand your imagination to envision alternative futures!
Arts universities have the potential to play a pivotal role in challenging times and the students are vital actors, often the voice of change. Nine students are here presenting their thesis, essays and parts of their degree projects!
The Master program in Film and Media “The Art of Impact” is focused on how art has an impact on society and how art can change the society we live in. The program is research preparatory and consists of two years of full-time studies at advanced level.
Working in different formats and new technology on digital platforms, the students have deepen their understanding of storytelling and its potential impact on their audiences. Community outreach, innovation, as well as global and urban contexts all interconnect, integrating sustainability skills and thinking to boost innovation and creativity in transition initiatives.
Storytelling in challenging times. Hello future, here we come!
