Welcome to Cloud9, a new podcast series from BahaiTeachings.org! We feature interviews with artists from around the globe to learn about what inspires, uplifts and motivates them to make a positive contribution to the world.
In our inaugural podcast, Cloud9 interviews Leili Towfigh, a diverse multidisciplinary artist, philosopher and social justice educator based in Boston, Massachusetts. BahaiTeachings.org arts editor Shadi Toloui-Wallace spoke to Leili about the 20+ years she’s spent creatively exploring concepts of beauty, science and the oneness of humanity.
Leili reveals her attraction to harmony and order, and how their important connection to science and mathematics forms the signature artistic patterns in her work. Beyond the aesthetics of her ceramic creations, though, she also expresses her deep passion for social justice initiatives—and the connections she makes between her striking art, her vision of race unity and achieving the oneness of humanity. Check out videos of her process on her instagram: instagram.com/leilitowfigh
