The Transcultural Collective
Â
I am a member of the newly founded Transcultural Collective, a group comprised of international artists, filmmakers, and writers.Â
Â
Founded by Iraqi artist Waleed Arshad, our first project aims to express the experiences of Iraqi families living in exile in the DFW area, both from their experiences in Iraq, and since moving to the US.Â
We will be creating an exhibit that will tour museums and cultural centers, and countries, launching in the Iraqi Cultural Center in Washington, DC.Â
Â
We will be creating a new website with more details of our projects, and I will share this in my next month’s newsletter.Â

CBS 11 Interview
My feature on CBS11 still hasn’t shown yet! TV schedules are volative, it would seem. However, it is currently scheduled to air on the 10pm news on June 10th, during the Tony Awards!
I have no guarantee it will actually air though, but if you want to set your DVR you never know…!

London 2012 Olympics ~ the LIVELIVE Project
Â
With the Olympics approaching, there’s every chance you’ll see one of my iPad works showing on the BBC’s Big Screens that are all around the UK!
People tweeted using the hashtag #celebratedpoem, and poet Dan Simpson crafted a poem he’ll perform from them. I’ve chosen some of these phrases to create iPad drawings off, and also shared them using this hashtag.Â
You can view all of the works here on Pinterest, and below is a selection of three….
