I invited viewers to ask questions about their own destiny, and seek the answer in a Persian-English translation. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6kGQCiJVhRI\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Video<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Artist Insights: Nazanin Hedayat Munroe&#8221; National Women&#8217;s Caucus for the Arts Interview by Marianne McGrath (February, 2021) Featuring Ensemble for the Era of COVID-19 (at left) and the &#8220;Talismanic Garment&#8221; Series Read the interview &#8220;Garments of Silk and Gold&#8221;Journal of the Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies (Vol. 29, No. 1) Interview [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-full_width.php","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-38","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38"}],"version-history":[{"count":103,"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":682,"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions\/682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazanin.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
