+  artist_bio: "Sahar Homami is a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin and Montreal. Born and raised in Tehran, she discovered calligraphy at a young age and obtained the Mastery level in Persian calligraphy by the age of 18. Then pursued 3 years of engineering in Material Science, moved countries and completed a B.F.A in Computation Arts, in her second home in Montreal, Canada. As a consequence of this chosen path, she often finds herself researching and exploring, expressing her ideas through multi-media platforms: video/animation direction, real-time visuals, analogue/digital calligraphy, and photography/videography. Her projects are inspired by an ongoing research on the intersection of art, science, spirituality and technology; focused on being the process and seeing in relationships. Our inner universe is concealed to us much like the outer world. The visual communication can be utilized as a medium to traverse certain inner and outer worlds simultaneously and diminish the seeming barriers. She invites the spectator to perceive, reflect, ponder or conceivably challenge themselves. Employing the tools accessible to us today, she dissolves the boundaries and hopes to expand our art of seeing. Menion is a project created by Stefano Ferrari - Guitarist, Producer and Composer. The project originates from the need of telling stories, experiences and impressions through sounds. His music brings together visionary Electronic and Post Rock, with Glitch and Ambient influences. Menion's performances range from Ferrari's solos to full band concerts and stage collaborations. His sound has been influenced by Nine Inch Nails, Shellac, Sonic Youth, Christian Fennesz, Alva Noto and many others. Menion does not feel compelled to experiment or display an aseptic avant-garde taste; what he's eager to do is to share and research his own art, experiencing music as an opportunity for self-improvement."

She studied in the Fine Arts academies of UDK Berlin (Prof. Vedder, Meisterschüler 2014), Kassel (Prof. Melhus) and Mainz (Prof. Kiessling). Her surrealistic video works, installations, objects, photographys and drawings are dealing with the relations between culture, artificiality of urban spaces, nature and the subconsciousness. After her studies, she collaborated for two years with archaeologists for an interdisciplinary project called PHASO. For her surrealistic videos and installations, she received several awards (2018: scholarship for video artists and a travel grant from Senat Berlin, 2016 : Palatine art award, 2015: DAAD- scholarship, South Korea/ Finalist Hans-Purrmann-award, 2014 : short-term Artist residency, 345 km Project, Praha, CZ (German-Czech Future Foundation)/ Emy-Roeder-Preis 2014: (Emy-Roederaward)/ Three month artist residency, Seoul ArtSpace_Geumcheon, South Korea/ Finalist Future Storytelling, House of the Cultures of the World, Berlin, etc.) She is the co-funder of oMo artspace opened in Berlin since 2016 with the artist Bongjun Oh (KO), and of the artist collective UNST Berlin, today mkv (2014). She was part of many group exhibitions and festivals, as European Media Art Festival Osnabrück, Dokfest Kassel, Athen Video Art Festival , HKW Berlin, Kunstverein Ludwigshafen, v_kunst Frankfurt, Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern, RGZM Mainz, Manhattan Bridge Projection Series, New York, USA, Art Space One, Seoul, KOR, Kühlhaus Berlin, NY Art Book Fair, MoMA PS1, New York.</span>
