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 Hamed Esmaeilion که این کار سترگ را به من سپرد. #دادخواهی #زن_زندگی_آزادی

Brilliant hearing from #soheilasokhanvari V&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

So glad to have been able to host this important event. We had four brilliant speakers and a fantastic, full audience.

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 Online ۱/۲

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.
