Tiptoeing into the monarchy-provenance-imperial wealth discourse this May 1st with my online preview of the forthcoming Luxury & Power @britishmuseum 🏺 TLDR: bling is king (for spectacle’s sake) but maybe we need more “why” as well as “wow”? thetimes.co.uk/article/briti…

My new typeface 'Tabrizi Jali' took several years to research & design. It’s the first revival based on a 19th c. Persian Naskh type, by Mirza Zayn-ul-Abedin Tabrizi, which I consider the benchmark of Persian typography. This will be followed by my revival of his 3 other types.

جمعه گذشته در موزه ویکتوریا و آلبرت لندن جمع شدیم تا به نام #زن_زندگی_آزادی از هنر و نقش زنان هنرمند در انقلاب اخیر و پیش از آن در رسیدن به آزادی صحبت کنیم. به منابع معتبر خبری چون ۱۵۰۰ تصویر و #وحید‌آنلاین برای دنبال کردن اخبار اشاره کردیم. @Vahid ۱/۲

Brilliant hearing from #soheilasokhanvari @V_and_A right now on protest in her art, she has been painting faces of her family since leaving #iran in 1979. Here clenched fists rise up from the garden. #WomanLifeFreedom #mahsaamini #jinaamini #iranrevolution #opiran

I was planning to post this event here today, but it has sold out before I was even able to advertise it. I decided to tweet anyway to emphasise the obvious demand for these conversations and to encourage other arts organisations to do what they can... vam.ac.uk/event/gJQ5oy1Pdl/w…

We hope we'll be able to open up some of the content of the discussion to a wider audience perhaps through a recording or blog post on the website, so I'll add that here when I have more information.

مزار ری‌را و پریسا، «زمستان ابدی»، بسیار سنگ‌نبشت‌ دارد. یکی پارتیتوری حک‌شده بر سنگ. تاریخی اما حک نشده؛ نه تولدی، نه مرگی؛ در ابدیتی منجمد فروافتاده‌اند بر هم. تنها تاریخ مزار: زمستان. سپاسگزارم از @esmaeilion که این کار سترگ را به من سپرد. #دادخواهی #زن_زندگی_آزادی
