Nomads of Persia Artist Firouz FarmanFarmaian to Conclude World Tour in New York City Nomads of Persia will take its audience on an evolutive, creative-performative journey, an immersive voyage through the City. This December, two years after FarmanFarmaian's transcultural movement made its mark on the 59th Biennale di Venezia at the Kyrgyz Pavilion, he takes Manhattan for one week. Contemporary art is finally revealing itself in nomadic form, mirroring the post-globalized cultural sphere where reconnections of craft and timeless tradition clash with contemporary transformative visions, cultural conjunctions, overlapping borders and the fusion of identities–powerfully interconnecting and creating the base for a planetary journey." - Firouz FarmanFarmaian.

About Firouz FarmanFarmaian
Firouz FarmanFarmaian is an artist, composer, film director, and cultural producer. He is a descendant of the Qajar dynasty, a Turkic tribe that rose to power in present-day Iran in the late 1700s. Exiled since the ‘79 Iranian-Islamic Revolution, he is French-Swedish by nationality and considers himself stateless. FarmanFarmaian is strongly moved by history and memory, and abstracts these into nomadic visual culture and the “post-tribal” — a way of rehabilitating tribal tradition and worldview back into contemporary discourse.
