This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Zahra Hooshyar
Zahra is an interdisciplinary artist based in Northern California, who describes herself as constantly stuck in diasporic liminal spaces.
Zahra and I met at Anderson Ranch Arts Center where she was working as a ceramics intern. She was my workshop assistant for a week-long terra sigillata workshop, which we can now fondly refer to as t-siggy thanks to Zahra. She’s one of those people who feels like magic when you meet her. She engages with a desire to be submerged fully in the wholeness of life.
Zahra is a first generation Iranian-American, who was born and raised in West Virginia to a cute and short pair of Iranian immigrants. We recorded this episode on the day her BFA thesis show opened. She is graduating from the University of California-Davis with a degree in Studio Art and a minor in Persian Studies, and as you’ll hear from our conversation, Zahra is a human containing multitudes of experiences and knowledge.
