Thanksgiving is approaching, and as always, I thank everyone around me\u2014I love and appreciate you very much.
I thank my entire family and my parents for giving me life, raising me, and educating me.
I thank God for His wisdom and love for us.
I thank the land on which I stand today, which has given me shelter and helped me. I thank once again those people who are around me at this time and are my support, my encouragement, and the inspiration for my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I was lucky enough to be among the participants of the festival NUIT BLANCHE TORONTO 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides a sleepless night, a surge of emotions from the huge number of art installations and meeting the artists themselves, I still have an orange volunteer cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky enough to spend the night not far from me, in Humber Collage’s location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who was with me in this location? Tell me about yourself, write. I think you liked everything that happened there that night. I had the brightest and darkest red place. This is a beautiful installation by a wonderful Iranian artist, a professor at the University of Toronto, NILOO INALOUEI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation was called Woven Words and carried the connection from the Global South to Turtle Island,conducted communication by fragments from contemporary Iranian poetry by filling .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who came to this location could touch the tightly woven fabric scraps that hung smoothly from the ceiling, find lovingly written poetic lines, and walk through them, feeling a connection with themselves. It was the most sensitive, tender, and pleasant location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were helped to create this beauty by the warm autumn weather outside, the huge number of Toronto residents interested in culture and art, and the wonderful aura that surrounded us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
