Iran: Another professional's take.

Last week I visited Pilsen, a neighborhood in Chicago for their famous Second Fridays (Yelp) . It is a part of the Lower west side and it reminds us of a typical example of renovation, change for better. The towers and old structures in the neighborhood brings a nostalgic feeling of beginning of this century dipped in a high-speed catalyst to undergo transformation for latest trend. The artists are spread out in few block radius of 18th street, which with help of two friends I was able to locate it with ease. Among all the noteworthy art works of various artists were this collage of 12 collage arranged in matrix of four by three format. It had lots of pictures which mentioned Iran and was done by Avisheh Mohsenin. The presentation had a real approach to the situation in Iran, as the artist had combined news articles, her diary notes, pictures of people protesting the Human Rights violation in Iran ( Amnesty International USA ), which was a part of this year's election in June 2009.

Another noted professional Hamid Dabashi, well known professor of Columbia University has written an article in CNN about Commentary: When Baha'is are free, then all Iranians will be. This is a beautiful article written by a native Iranian born in southern part of iran, who has witnessed the hegemonical evolution of the present Islamic government since the Iranian revolution.

Also for updates on Baha'is visit the following sites CNN, Iran Press Watch and Iran please visit the following sites CNN, BBC.

I would like to end this note with a quotation which I recieve from a list serve daily named Renaissance Unity. Today's quote was titled Receptive "To find truth you must experience it in your soul. You can read hundreds of books, or study the religions of all time, and find that all of them have one common point, one common denominator: and this is love-which is another word for light or soul illumination. To realize this soul illumination you have to shut away the clamor of the lower mind, to become humble, very simple." ~White Eagle
