The death of a 22-year-old Iranian woman sparked protests around the world, inspiring a local artist to open an exhibit in solidarity.
"I have very fond memories of growing up in Iran," said Nazanin Moghbeli. "I lived there 'til I was about nine."
"I really wanted to be an artist, but growing up with immigrant parents, that was a hard sell," she said. "But they actually really guided me very well into a liberal arts education." "Really an important turning point not only in Iran's history, but the history of, kind of, the Middle East," said Moghbeli.
