                                                    Sheida Soleimani Birds of Passage NEW YORK September 5 to October 7, 2023 Opening Reception: Friday, September 8th, 6-8 pm Denny Gallery is pleased to present Sheida Soleimani’s  Birds of Passage . In the newest installation of her series  Ghostwriter , Soleimani “ghostwrites” her parents’ lives: as pro-democratic dissidents targeted by the totalitarian regime in Iran after ’79; and as stateless refugees forced to seek asylum across Europe and in pre- and post-9/11 America.

It leaves most to wonder what is taking place in the political parties, there level of professionalism and the image that they portray to the citizens of this country. There is also the issues that are not being fully spoken about on news channels, issues such as current President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden being under investigation for his ties in Ukraine and the damaging information that was found on his computer. The fact that it was said that he plead guilty to these charges that were brought against him in federal court about his business practices does not seem to touch the air ways in the manner that it should.
