List of Persian/Iranian Events for 2004-06-16

An exciting young, emerging Bay Area artist in his first major solo
exhibition, Ala Ebtekar explores the merging of styles from two different
cultural traditions spanning opposite ends of the world and separated
by centuries - Iranian coffee house culture and hip-hop culture.
Seemingly disconnected, both populous traditions are grounded in providing
common space for sharing history, news, and information, reflecting the
lives of people who are often marginalized, and responding critically to
the world. Ebtekar creates an environment where cultures and styles
fuse, providing a visual crossroads where contemporary events meet
mythology.

Opening Reception to the public is on June 16 at 6pm (free)
When: June 16- July 31 Wednesdays through Saturdays from 12pm to 5pm.
Where: Intersection for the Art
