Sina’s PD-project, ‘How to inherit stories? – Artistic Research as Constructive and Critical Memory Work’, explores how virtual world-building, inspired by high dark fantasy, can serve as a medium for reimagining pre-modern Persian bestiaries. By investigating the potential of interactive 3D media as a medium of artistic research, this project positions the creative process as a critical intervention within the context of the Iranian diaspora, where memory practices are explored through creative and experimental digital craftsmanship, offering new ways to reimagine and respond to heritage today.

The PD is supervised by Ties van de Werff (Zuyd), Ruth Benschop (Zuyd) and Costas Papadopoulos (FASoS).
