“What Does Being Iranian American Mean to You?” – Exhibit your answers at Iranian Festival 2011!

The 2011 Iranian Festival is participating in Seattle Center’s Festál Fabric of America Project: E=mc2 (Engaging through Media to spread Culture at the speed of light). This participatory art and social media project creates a forum for people to define and present their cultures, and connect to others.

Many Iranian Americans are constantly engaged in a balancing act between their Iranian roots and the realities of their lives in the United States. Bringing together various traditions, values, and histories through digital media and arts is an essential step in re-creating the intersectionality and multiplicity of our identities and experiences as Iranian Americans.

So tell with us, “What does being Iranian American mean to you?” Join us on the FFAP website for the Iranian Festival or submit your images here. Combine images and text in a creative way and share what matters to you through images, symbols, and words.
