Azadeh Momeni
Azadeh, a postdoctoral fellow in the Faculty of Near and Middle East Civilizations at the University of Toronto, discovered her passion for painting while pursuing her studies at Carleton University, following her relocation from Iran to Canada two years prior. With a focus on Women’s Studies and Social Movements, her areas of expertise encompass gender equality, social change, immigration, and Sufism, all of which serve as central themes in her artwork. Azadeh’s paintings have been showcased in various exhibitions across Ontario, including prestigious venues such as the Carleton University Art Gallery in Ottawa, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) in Ottawa, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Gallery 1313 in Toronto, and the Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto.

I was inspired by the ongoing social movement in Iran called "Woman, Life, Freedom". I used metaphor Simurg (Literary Phoenix) to illustrate that this social movement would bring the new face of Iran in which equality, and justice will be prevailed.
