[00:00:00]I've been aware of Shirin Neshat, uh, who's the artist who's contributing the image this month for a long time now.

[00:00:06]She is from Iran, although she might well say Persia. It's very powerful, I think, politically as as well as beautiful.

[00:00:15]>> [music] [music] >> I always enjoy the process of looking for art that or artists that that seem to be um interested in exploring some of the same areas that I'm trying to write about.

[00:00:33]Uh, and in fact this one and one other, which is sort of activism related, were the most difficult, um to find something that wasn't too much of sort of slogan, but uh, but actually felt some um warmth and humanity, as well.
