3:30 - 5:00 Talk
Nikpay will elaborate on her cross-cultural approach that transforms the veil from an icon of repression into an artistic tool that liberates the body. Using examples from her work with women, she will expand upon her artistic process that gives form to that which is hidden beneath the threshold of the body consciousness.
