This week at Oasis, Azadeh Piraziman will join us to speak about her journey as she has traveled from Iran to Canada and an artistic journey influenced by her upbringing and her new experiences in Canada. A remarkable and articulate young woman, you will enjoy her story.
Azadeh Pirazimian is a Toronto based multidisciplinary artist who has been absolutely fascinated by the different forms of art, either visual arts or drama. She received a B.A. in painting and an M.A in Visual Communications, followed by a six year career as an art lecturer at the University level in Iran.
In 2015 Azadeh moved to Canada and participated in a course in Essential Illustration in OCAD University. At the same time, she engaged with Vibe Arts For Children and Youth as an established artist. Later in 2016 she joined the Mural Career Development Certificate Program and worked with Mural Routes Organisation as part of their creative mural team. She also worked with Blinc Studios as a muralist to create several murals in Toronto.
In 2017 Azadeh joined the Canadian Center for Language and Cultural Studies (CCLCS) to gain drama experience in English while working as a visual arts instructor in the Rosetta School Of Visual Art.
And returning to the Oasis stage:
Kobena Aquaa-Harrison is a Toronto based singer songwriter originally from Ghana. His blend of story telling and music captivates his audience.
