Exhibition: Laleh Mehran: How to Catch a Moth’s Shadow
Site-Specific installation artist Laleh Mehran will exhibit “How to

and political concepts, informs her creative process. The installations
she produces are interactive, often including performative pieces,
where viewers can help direct the expansion of the installation.
