We're exploring the stories behind the artists who came to the Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence Centre! The residency is located at Fool's Paradise, the former home and studio of Canadian artist Doris McCarthy.
Meet Shahrzad Amin, an Iranian-Canadian award-winning interdisciplinary artist who explores fundamental social social issues, such as democracy, human rights, equality and migration, through different artistic mediums.
While she was here at Fool's Paradise, we spoke to Shahrzad Amin about her experience living and creating at the residency, her artistic practice, and her new series of paintings that aims to change misperceptions about Iran.
Shahrzad Amin's work is possible thanks to the support of Canada Council for the Arts.
