Tannaz Farsi Selected for UO Presidential Fellowship Award

Farsi was one of two faculty recognized and awarded the Presidential Fellowship in Art and Humanities. She was recognized for her work on a project called Intermediaries, which the selection committee described as “rich” and “gripping.” The committee was struck by the sheer beauty of Farsi’s work and felt the proposed project would have great value to a broad audience. Farsi says the fellowship provides a thrilling opportunity at a critical time as it coincides with her upcoming sabbatical.
