Mexican/Iranian artist Michelle Emami uses her artwork as a space to celebrate her mixed heritage on canvas. In Both, Neither and All of the Above, Emami explores both her Iranian and Mexican heritages through motifs and cultural symbols drawn from both cultures. Emami asserts that she is not just one race or another, nor is she simply the sum of her parents’ cultures: she is unapologetically all of the above.

At the beginning of the pandemic, the landscape of our daily lives went through a dramatic shift. In Chelsie Tamala and Cam DeCaussin's paintings, viewers can sense the stillness and introspection many felt during this time of great change, which still echoes through our lives today.

Join Michelle Emami and Vision Gallery curator Jillian Nakornthap for this virtual artist talk to hear Emami discuss her work in Both, Neither and All of the Above.
