What sort of experience did these people have with Iran? Where did they get their information? What sort of media about Iran can an American find if actively seeking? Why was Iran cited, and not, say, Saudi Arabia?
Then there was another echelon of questions.
Why would someone choose to take offense to the phrase "Unconditional Love is Global Security"? How can so many claim to be capable of 'unconditional love' but consistently point to the other side of the fence as being incapable? Where do we confuse a nation with its people and who is responsible for its image?
Two years later, with the help of many everyday people and a community of artists in Boston, BriAnna went to Tehran with fellow multimedia artist, Michael Pope. They met with many artists, curators, and even mullahs. Much of their experience was chronicled and transmitted live online, creating a place for themselves in the world of Citizen Media. BriAnna and Michael have returned with stories and pictures and present them to audiences that are surprised and delighted to have a more nuanced multi-dimensional image of Iran in their minds-eye.

i know how mysterious tehran is to most americans. but holding a sign at "azadi" square isn't the biggest task that one could accomplish over there. tehran is the new exotic place...it's protected by fear and militarism but once a person can realize that all those barriers are nothing but media injected illusions, they can stop making a fuss about holding a sign in "azadi" square...by the way, they sell really good heroin in that square. i just want to be a little obnoxious i guess...for i don't find westerners simply capable of "getting" what irans about.
