- **Event Name**: LETTERS ACROSS TIME: LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND STORYTELLING
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Setareh Ghoreishi's work as a designer and visual artist focuses on language, identity, and storytelling through writing systems—particularly non-Latin scripts. This project explores the intersection of ancient and contemporary writing systems through typographic experimentation. 

During the residency,  Setareh Ghoreishi focused on developing a new body of work centered around a self-invented typeface that blends characteristics of Farsi, English, and Cuneiform scripts. This process involves hand sketching, digital font design, and using experimental materials such as wood, plexiglass, and printmaking techniques. The result is a series of typographic compositions that invite viewers to reflect on cultural hybridity and communication. The work investigates how language shapes identity, preserves culture, and visually communicates across boundaries.



Biography:

Setareh Ghoreishi (Michigan) is deeply rooted in the relationship between language, culture, and identity—particularly how these forces intersect through typography. She is a graphic designer and multidisciplinary digital media artist. After receiving her B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Art in Tehran, Iran, she migrated to the United States where she currently lives. In her work, she investigates cultural disparities, most specifically between the United States and Iran.

"I am fascinated by the way visual language can act as a vessel for memory, a tool for storytelling, and a bridge across cultural and linguistic boundaries," Setareh elaborates. "Typography, for me, is not just a system of design and letters; it is a living form that carries emotion, history, and context."


After moving to the United States, Setareh continued her education and acquired an MFA in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University and an MFA in Art and Technology from the University of Florida. This led her to make video art installation and use digital technology to explore the role of visual design in the interaction of cultural and social issues. Through the lens of her own experience, each country's cultural and social relationships are examined.
