Vivienne calls Waterloo, Ontario, home, though she was born in Singapore and completed her bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in Neuroscience at Princeton University, NJ. During her study there, she became interested in drug delivery to the brain, especially theranostic solutions. Her thesis project developed super paramagnetic iron oxide theranostic nanoparticles for MRI imaging and targeted drug delivery to the brain. She has also completed research internships at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, working on layer-by-layer nanoparticles, as well as liposomes, for anti-fibrotic treatment following glaucoma filtration surgeries. Then, she spent two years in Fuzhou, China, at a special needs foster home teaching and developing its creative arts program. She is now back in Canada as a Masters/PhD student working on creating upconversion nanoparticles for on-demand drug release upon NIR irradiation, and other biomedical applications, like bioimaging and biosensing. In her free time, she volunteers at an art co-operative, cooks experimentally with various cuisines and camps out at cafes where she writes and does all things creative. | Vivienne calls Waterloo, Ontario, home, though she was born in Singapore and completed her bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in Neuroscience at Princeton University, NJ.

Né à Téhéran, en Iran, Khosro Berahmandi peint depuis l’âge de 25 ans. Ses années de formation le conduisent de l’université Western Ontario à l’Université Concordia de Montréal et à l’Université de Paris VIII où il obtient une maîtrise en arts plastiques. Artiste accompli et prolifique, lauréat de plusieurs bourses du Conseil des Arts du Canada, Khosro Berahmandi, s’engage fréquemment dans divers projets artistiques. Parmi les plus récents, mentionnons le spectacle multidisciplinaire Éclats nocturne (2009) et le projet de danse Baiser tellurique (2010) qui explore la relation entre son art et d’autres formes d’expressions artistiques. Il a participé déjà à une quarantaine d’expositions en solo et de groupe au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Europe. | Né à Téhéran, en Iran, Khosro Berahmandi peint depuis l’âge de 25 ans.

==Naghmeh Sharifi== | |||
Born in Iran, Naghmeh Sharifi immigrated to Canada at the age of sixteen. She attended the University of British Columbia, where she obtained a BA in visual arts and one in psychology. Since 2006, her artwork has been exhibited in Tehran, Berlin, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Toronto and Skopje. In Montreal, she has presented her work at such sites as Les Territoires Gallery (2013), Montreal Council of the Arts (2015) and Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery (2017). In 2015, Naghmeh Sharifi was the recipient of the Impressions Residency at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. | |||
From British Columbia to Quebec, where she now lives, as well as sojourns in Paris, Berlin and Lyon, Sharifi’s artistic approach has always been spurred by reflections on themes of transient identities and by her fascination with human psychology. Naghmeh is currently pursuing an MFA (concentration Painting and Drawing) at Concordia University. | |||
