  • About

    Nasim Nasr is an Iranian born Australian artist who explores identity and intercultural concerns in her works. These themes are explored in 'Ashob (Unrest)', which sees Nasir and other people read from Persian writer Sadegh Hedayat's book, The blind owl 1937, in different languages. Although Hedayat's words speak to 'identity in flux', the message is ironically lost in the various translations.
