DESCRIPTION:Advisor: Paula Becker Subject: Master of Fine Arts Thesis Defen
se by: Arghavan Booyeh Topic: Woven Courage Date: May 1, 2026 Time: 2:00 P
M Location: Hatch Street Studios Abstract: Woven Courage explores fiber ar
t as a site where cultural heritage and storytelling intersect, expressing
the duality of women’s experiences as both delicate and resilient, soft
yet powerful. Drawing on a background in law, the work engages themes of
human rights and women’s resistance in Iran, using symbols such as the C
ypress (Sarv) and paisley (Botteh) to embody transformation, grief, and en
during hope. Through maximalist sculptural forms, the thesis reveals the p
aradox of women’s extraordinary strength alongside the unsustainable bur
dens they carry, positioning each woven thread as an act of protest, memor
y, and collective resilience.\nEvent page: /events/c

\nAbstract:
\nWoven Courage explores fiber art as a site where
cultural heritage and storytelling intersect\, expressing the duality of w
omen’s experiences as both delicate and resilient\, soft yet powerful. D
rawing on a background in law\, the work engages themes of human rights an
d women’s resistance in Iran\, using symbols such as the Cypress (Sarv)
and paisley (Botteh) to embody transformation\, grief\, and enduring hope.
Through maximalist sculptural forms\, the thesis reveals the paradox of w
omen’s extraordinary strength alongside the unsustainable burdens they c
arry\, positioning each woven thread as an act of protest\, memory\, and c
ollective resilience.
