CHASI hosts local artist Faria Firoz for Dinner & Art Night

by
On March 10, CHASI welcomed local visual artist and UFV alumni Faria Firoz to the Hub, where she joined our team for a dinner and conversations around her journey of art activism and community-minded creativity. We thank Faria for showing us how research, activism, and art can come together to create change, and appreciate her taking the time to join us and share stories about her practice and art activism.
If you’re not already familiar with Faria and her work, you can learn more and see her work…
