F5: Saba Yazdjerdi Discusses the Iranian Movement, an Inspiring Poet + More
Born in Tehran, Iran, Saba Yazdjerdi is an architect and artist whose work investigates her Iranian and multi-cultural heritage through object, spaces, and materials. Raised in Tehran, Saba has lived in Colorado, Rhode Island, Bangkok, New York, and California throughout her life. Fascinated by the human experience, she explores themes of identity and belonging through a new lens that seeks to embrace, preserve, and celebrate Iranian culture.

Today, Saba Yazdjerdi joins us for Friday Five!
