Asian Art Council special lecture by Sussan Babaie, Ph.D.
for adults

A native of Iran and a specialist in Iranian and Islamic art, Dr. Babaie will guide viewers through a close reading of the pictorial conventions and astonishing visual effects of this remarkable art form.
sponsor:
Co-sponsored by the Mildred Schnitzer Asian Program Endowment Fund, the Middle East Studies Center of Portland State University, and the Asian Art Council.
