AUDIO ARCHIVE BOOTH
2023
The experience of diaspora is a series of coverings and uncoverings — much like memory, and this moment is uncovering much. The purpose of the audio archive booth is to record stories, reflections, experiences, hopes, dreams, pasts, and futures of the Iranian diaspora during this historical moment. The audio archive booth is located at Berkeley Art Center. Private appointments with the booth are available through Calendly. Providing your first and last name in the recording is not a requirement.

This project is facilitated by Sholeh Asgary and occasionally with Iranians for Abolition and was short-listed for a 2025 Creative Capital Award.
