The Julio Fine Arts Gallery presents An Artist Conversation with Masha R. Fard, in connection with this year’s common text, Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen. Iranian artist and recent graduate of the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Mahsa R. Fard often finds herself painting manmade, large-scale structures such as cities, stadiums, and apparatuses. Ever conscious of the dominance of a rigid patriarchal gaze both in the public and private sphere, her paintings address many parallel themes to those raised in Jose Antonio Vargas’s book, such as fundamental questions of access—to public and private space, to opportunity, to place and homeland. Mahsa R. Fard currently lives and works in Baltimore, MD.

This event is Co-Sponsored by Messina and the Julio Fine Arts Gallery. The Gallery is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council, msac.org
