GOHAR X GRAIL with Yasmina Hashemi and M. E. Scott

On this episode we were joined by Yasmina Hashemi and M. Elizabeth Scott to discuss their ongoing project GOHAR X GRAIL. In their words GOHAR X GRAIL is a vessel for reflection uncovering the hidden influence of Iranian culture on the traditions of the British Isles & beyond. Tracing nomadic migratory patterns, histories of cultural exchange, and shared elements of psyche and mythos, we explore Iran's profound influence on the so-called 'West' as felt through music, language, storytelling, and collective – at times unconscious – symbolic understanding. In collaboration, artist Yasmina Hashemi and poet M. Elizabeth Scott seek to uncover and illuminate the unseen root system of our shared histories and find common resonance.

Yasmina and M. Elizabeth shared insights on the process of transmuting research and experience into artistic collaboration and the magic of written and spoken word, folklore and ancestral inquiry.

You can find more info on their ongoing project on Instagram @goharxgrail

Elizabeth Scott is a poet and co-founder of arts collective and experimental platform Cixous72 (@cixous72)

Yasmina Hashemi is an artist and founder of ROSVAA Magazine (@rosvamagazine) , an exploration of Iranian Identity through experimental arts collective and digital production
