While looking for a photo of yalda celebrations this year, I ran into this interesting photo from the scene of The Fourth
International Painting Biennial of The Islamic World in Tehran, Iran.
Click on it and you'll see a larger image at Flickr.
I believe the biennial started in the last week of November, and it looks like it ended today,
December, 21, 2006.
It would be good to see more photographs of this
exhibition. (As another example, check out this work.) There does not seem to be a website for the biennial or one that actually displays all the paintings.
I believe my friend, and ex-Berkeley-ite, Bobak Etminani,
also has several paintings on display in the biennial.
