"I congratulate you on having invented a very distinctive new form for presenting your research in an exciting and stimulating way that captures the nature of your thinking beautifully"
Rev. Prof. June Boyce-Tillman 2008
“… having seen Parvaneh Photomontage art work I wanted to comment on the degree of professionalism that her work embodies. I think that it is important to stress that aesthetics aside, it is refreshing to see sublime work presented as practice as research. This is important, particularly as she is using the presentation of 'harmony' in an Aristotelian way to reveal her transcultural struggle underpinned by her religious and philosophical belief. Not to have this as an example of good practice from a different, as she put it 'illegitimate cultural' perspective, would be a great shame.”
Dr. Olu Taiwo 2008
“Parvaneh Farid has a distinctive presence expressed both through her movement and her voice in performance. It reflects the depth of the experiences that she has encountered in her complex life story. Her sound is rich, velvety and warm, merging a variety of styles and experiences within its particular timbre. She always performs with passion and commitment and her voice is an instrument well suited fo carrying these powerful emotions.”
Rev. Prof. June Boyce-Tillman 2007
“The art of Parvaneh Farid celebrates the unity of religion as expressed by Bahá’u’lláh, the all-embr-acing religion... This notion of the unity of religion finds expression in the unifying elements of her work in both a formal and spiritual sense.
In a formal sense, creativity ignores boundaries. Thus photography, music, dance, performance, together with any material that can be usefully employed, are all used as one to make powerful art not easily forgotten.
The belief in the unity of religion grows, of course, out of a belief in the unity of God and extend in a notion of the unity of mankind in all its diversity.
The spiritual content in Parvaneh Farid’s work is universal, yet it finds its home and, in deed, ruthless suppression in Parvaneh’s native
Parvaneh Farid’s recent statements are an impassioned and articulate rebuke ... in the form of eloquent and original
works of art."
