PRIX CARTA BIANCA

Nazanin Pouyandeh won the first price of the @prixcartabianca. A major initiative supporting contemporary artistic creation, developed between France and Italy, the Carta Bianca Prize aims to create a dialogue between the worlds of art and health. The violent events currently unfolding in Iran find a persistent echo in Nazanin Pouyandeh’s work.
