In a display of healing and resilience, Katayoun Bahrami and Florencia Montefalcone will present “Words of Silence” as an offering of healing for women who have endured trauma and oppression.
A sound performance by interdisciplinary artist Sholeh Asgary invites the audience into a diasporic travel of time, sound, and space.

Be the Voice of IRAN’s interactive protest posters, illustrated by Reza Zavvari and designed by Romina Zabihian, invite viewers through VR to dive deeper into the lives of those fighting for basic human rights in the streets of Iran.
