Nakhaei Collaborates on Online Exhibition Exploring an Iranian Shrine

Graduate student Hossein Nakhaei collaborates on "The Emamzadeh Yahya at Varamin: An Online Exhibition of an Iranian Shrine," hosted by Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online. An online exhibition, exhibition catalog, and multi-media book in one, this website offers an alternative museological space for exploring the Emamzadeh Yahya’s many looks, functions, resonances, and stories over the last 700 years. The mirrored website in English and Persian includes six thematic galleries with over 70 contributions, including essays, films, digital interactives, and catalog entries. As a research assistant and lead contributor to this project, Nakhaei's co-authored essays and interactives are featured in three galleries of the exhibition: Varamin, Building, and Luster.
