A Note from Payam Yousefi, An Iranian Artist<br />
During times of confusion, tribulation, grief,<br />
uncertainty, and despair, the arts enliven<br />
us by reintegrating the disjointed pieces of<br />
ourselves and replenishing them with clarity<br />
and hope. The arts remind us of our individual<br />
and collective potential to grow, evolve, and<br />
transform. They remind us of what and who we<br />
can be and what we can create. In this new<br />
section, we bring you works of art that have<br />
moved and inspired us. We encourage you to<br />
also share works that have inspired you.<br />
Happy new years to all my family and friends. It has been a difficult year for<br />
Iranian people. I have personally struggled with my mental health. Like many,<br />
my sanity is constantly challenged by the neverending reports of unspeakable<br />
horrors that have befallen Iranian citizens.<br />
Music has played a central role in allowing<br />
me to ground myself and process the<br />
weight of grief that challenges me<br />
each day. Contrary to the stereotype<br />
held by some that Persian music is futile<br />
melancholy, I must say music has not been<br />
a form of defeatist escape for me, but<br />
rather, a way to heal, regroup, and recenter<br />
so that I can continue on my path:<br />
So that I can embrace my grief, move past<br />
it, become whole and then help people<br />
in need in ways that I am capable. In this<br />
spirit I wanted to share a segment from an improvisatory performance with my<br />
brother Witness Matlou that I have titled “lamentations.” May it be a tool for<br />
reflection, re-centering, coping, and healing in the new year so that we may all<br />
function with love and at our fullest potential.<br />
With love,<br />
