We chat about her experience leaving Iran to the UK as a young woman, the road accident that caused her to leave her career as a biochemist and pursue her dream of becoming an artist, and her current exhibition Rebel Rebel, honouring 28 Iranian female artists who were forced to abandon their careers after the Iranian Revolution in the 70s.Thank you to Soheila for joining us for this episode.
