She holds an MA and BA in Painting from the Art University of Tehran and has over thirteen years of teaching experience. Her work explores memory, identity, and emotional transformation through figurative and symbolic imagery.Shoora Majedian holds a Master of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design. She earned an MA from Tehran University and a Post-baccalaureate in Painting and Drawing from SAIC in Chicago. In 2022, she was the recipient of the Joseph Plaskett Painting Award, and in 2023 she was selected for the William and Isabel Pope Artist Residency in Halifax. Aside from doing residencies at the Griffin Art Projects, she has been recognized with grants from the Canada Arts Council, BC Arts Council, and The Elizabeth Green Shields Foundation. She has showcased her work in group exhibitions nationally and internationally, including in Berlin, LA, Tehran, Chicago, Toronto, and Vancouver.Majedian’s painting research unfolds against the backdrop of her bi-cultural heritage and diasporic experience, where personal and collective memory intersect with spatial and bodily constraints. Her work navigates displacement and belonging, probing the boundaries between presence and absence, visibility and obscurity. Drawing from Persian mythology, she reactivates mythic figures and symbolic motifs to bridge past and present, intimate memory and shared history. The body becomes a site of negotiation within imposed and self-determined spaces, revealing tensions that are physical, psychological, and historical.Parvaneh Roudgar is an Iranian-Canadian sculptor with over three decades of experience in the visual arts. She began her studies in Florence, Italy, in 1986, training in both classical and contemporary sculpture and developing her distinctive artistic language. Since 1994, she has taught sculpture in Florence and later in Vancouver, where she has lived since 1999, while maintaining an active exhibition practice across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Her work is held in private and public collections internationally, and she has completed notable public commissions, including “Mother and Child” in Port Moody (2017) and “Migration” in Australia (2020). Living and working across cultures has shaped her exploration of themes such as migration, memory, and the female body through poetic, contemplative forms.Join violinist Ava Shadmani and pianist Kiandokht Nouri for a performance exploring folk‑inspired compositions from around the world, with a particular focus on the Middle East. The program highlights the ways traditional melodies, rhythms, and stories continue to shape contemporary musical expression. Through their collaboration, the duo offers listeners an intimate encounter with themes of love, nostalgia, longing, and celebration, while tracing connections across cultures and generations.Nina Zarabi began her film career in Iran, attending film school and creating short films. After moving to Canada, she studied writing and directing at Langara Film School and completed several short projects. She is currently developing a feature-length script and working toward directing her first feature film. Her work focuses on spiritually and emotionally grounded stories inspired by real-life human experiences.
