Event

Inspired by Omid Fallahazad’s story Sabzeh, this immersive installation brings together music, dance, fiber arts, and visuals rooted in Persian carpets and growing sprouts. Like knots woven by hand or seeds pushing through the dark, beauty and strength appear when we hold each other through all seasons of growth. Some of us are just beginning to sprout, others stretch further toward the light — yet all are vital. Even when lives are unjustly cut short, their spirit and impact endure, reminding us that we are bound together. The work honors the ten Baha’i women executed in Shiraz, Iran, forty years ago, and invites us to see our deep interconnectedness — to remember that through unity, we hold the power to rise, resist injustice, and nurture change.

Blue Girl is presented asa three-channel installation in Art School Confidential from April 20 to September 20, 2024.

"Art School Confidential celebrates five decades of Visual Arts at the University of Ottawa, representing the work of 50 artists who have taught and studied in the historic building located at 100 Laurier East since 1974. That year, artist, educator, administrator, and creator of the Canada Council’s ground-breaking Art Bank Collection, Suzanne Rivard Le Moyne, arrived at the University, where she brought together a formidable team of artists – several of whom had been her students at L’École des beaux arts in Montreal – and important art historians, to become the founding faculty members of the Department of Visual Arts.

As part of a bilingual university, the Department is unique among Canadian art schools: a dynamic and artistically productive site of exchange among artists and students from diverse language and cultural communities. The Department has largely been a hidden gem within the city of Ottawa, despite the many critically-acclaimed accomplishments of its artists and the wide-ranging impact of their works both in Canada and abroad.
