DESCRIPTION:March 8-April 3, by appointment\n\nHeadlands Bay Area Fellow Omid Mokri is 
 working in the Project Space studio for the month of March, and welcomes 
 guests to visit and view in-progress and finished works. During this time 
 he will be recreating the painting process that he invented during his time 
 in San Quentin: applying crushed crayon and color pencil to a canvas made 
 of bedsheets cured with tea and milk. \n\nMokri is an Iranian American 
 artist classically trained in Iran in miniatures. His practice began with 
 classical Persian- and European-style paintings in the tradition of the 
 vanitas, and includes contemporary painting and drawing and intricate books 
 inlaid with natural materials. For Mokri, making art became a vehicle for 
 survival while in prison in the United States. While incarcerated, he used 
 his work to tell the stories of inmates fighting to persevere against a 
 system denying them their humanity, sketching portraits on commonplace, 
 symbolic items such as non-sufficient fund envelopes; he now uses his work 
 as a platform for social commentary and advocacy.\n\nStudio visits are by 
 appointment only; to make an appointment, please contact Program 
 Coordinator Christina Young at cyoung@headlands.org at least 72 hours in 
 advance of your intended visit.\n\nHeadlands Center for the Arts' Bay Area 
 Fellowship: Svane Family Foundation Artists, is made possible with the 
 generous support of the Svane Family Foundation.\n\nHeadlands assess Covid 
 safety protocol on an ongoing basis and may require mask wearing indoors
