THE SPARK IS YOU: Parasol unit in Venice

Collateral Event of the 58th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia
Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello di Venezia

Kami, Farideh Lashai, Koushna Navabi and Navid Nuur. Dialogues open up across the exhibition, not only between the different generations of artists and the geographical regions from which they now draw inspiration, but also through a common desire to interact openly and respectfully with others, a quality that is a steadfast hallmark of the Persian people.
