(Im)migration is what Ali said it to me during this week's episode. Ali is an artist, writer, professor originally from Iran and lives in the USA for over a decade. He works with Farsi language and playing with how to break the literal meaning of language. I saw a sense of fluidity in his work and his life, as many immigrants can reasonate with. Ali and I also talked about: what makes the best ''soil'' for migration. And the fun moment of ordering in starbuck coffee and give up your maternal name and see what happens. (Which is a wonderful short story Ali wrote about called: My Name is Alex) Guest Speaker: Ali Motamedi @alimotamedi Email: alm.motamedi@gmail.com Website: www.alimotamedi.com New Episode every Sunday at 10 AM EST —————————————————— Contact the host - Yaching Cheung Website: https://yachingcheung.com/ Email: art.yachingcheung@gmail.com ————————————————————————— #immigration#migration#farsi#writer#beinganartist #artyoutuber #art #artpodcast #currentartpodcast #artwork #modernart #artistlife #artist #artistssupportingartists #podcast #podcaster #creativeprocess #newyorkcity #VisualArtsInspiration #CreativeProcess #InspiringArtists #ArtWorldInsights #ArtistsChallenges #ValueInCreativity #CreativeIndustryLife #InspireCreativity #ArtistsSupportingArtists #artisticinspiration
