Marzieh Saffarian on Feminist Art, Iranian Culture, and Native Language Challenges

Meet Marzieh Saffarian, the collage artist behind @psychpersia. Marzieh is also a speech-language pathologist who I met during graduate school. Our conversation flowed in so many wonderful directions. We chat about her feminist artistic inspirations, the Iranian revolution, identity and assimilation, and the challenges both of us face around speaking our native language, especially given our speech and language backgrounds. I love how Marzieh so beautifully connects feminism, art, and culture in this episode. I hope you do too!Find Marzieh on @psychpersia and @vintagepersia.Here are links to Marzieh's collage art that I mentioned as well as the data I cited toward the end. 1.
