Would an award matter if there was no one watching? No one to show it to?

Show notes

On today’s Art Talk, I interview Nasrin Sheykhi, an Iranian Caricature Artist who left her country to pursue an art career in the United States.

How can you kickstart a career when you have no money, no resources; don’t speak the language; have little to no support and living in a cultural environment that sets you up for settling and not fighting for your dreams?

….just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
