We Are Nature and Nature is Us — Mana Contemporary Artist Profile with Fereshteh Toosi

Update: 2020-01-21

Description

Fereshteh Toosi is an artist of Iranian and Azeri ancestry whose work involves embodied experiences, encounter, exchange, and sensory inquiry. We discuss her body of work, including her current project Water Radio: Liquid Intelligence and latest initiative and O, Miami collaboration Reading Camp. Themes that emerge in our discussion include deep listening, the importance of “tuning into” our environments, shared experiences, modes of communication with nature that are beyond the language of words, wonder, imagination and more.

This conversation is one of four interviews, recorded with Orchid.fm, profiling Mana Contemporary artists at 777 Mall during Miami Art Week 2019.
