‘Now the message is imperative,’ with Trump as U.S. president, Iranian art collector says
By Tania Mehta for CBC News: Feb 04, 2017
Mohammed Afkhami sees art as a way to bridge the divide between people from all walks of life, and he says it’s even more imperative now that Donald Trump is U.S. president.
“We’re living in a continually integrated global society and to try to create a ‘them and ‘us’ atmosphere is not only illogical but also not in the spirit of humanity,” Afkhami told CBC Toronto in an interview.
The British-Iranian art collector is loaning works from his private collection to Toronto’s Aga Khan Museum that explore the diversity of post-revolutionary Iran.
