Creative Mornings: Laleh Mehran

Creative Mornings = inspiring speaker + free breakfast + free coffee + networking

About the Speaker: Laleh Mehran creates experiential art. Her process for making artwork involves both “art” + “work.” Lots of work! It’s in this process of making that ideas can shift, visuals can expand, and production methods can improve – all enhancing the final artwork.

Issues revolving around dissent and exile are of particular interest and concern to Laleh Mehran. The progeny of Iranian scientists, her relationship to these subjects is necessarily complex, and is still more so now given a political climate in which certain views are increasingly suspect. Mehran’s research, often modeled on and about the very ideas of science and technology, takes advantage of their cultural importance in order to articulate a set of ideas which require precisely these kinds of mediations from both political and religious intolerance.
