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.

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

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

“Citizens’ access to technology can put pressure on the government that cannot come from any other source. Western technology companies, recently freed from sanctions, should grant full access to Iranians," write @Maasalan @kendraserra and Asfaneh Rigot. nyti.ms/3BV5F2t
