tags:: #author #Iran --- I am Azadeh Nikouei, born in 1983 in Mahallat, Iran. I received my BA and MA in Handicraft and Traditional Art from Shahrekord University (2007) and Alzahra University in Tehran (2011), respectively. My work has particularly focused on two-faced fine Moarragh (wood marquetry), in addition to my involvement in various workshops for other crafts and also some publications on Iranian traditional dolls. Since 2015, I have been advancing my studies as a PhD candidate at Tarbiat Modares University of Tehran, where my thesis investigates ekphrasis and its critical role in art criticism. Concurrently, since 2015, I have served as a managing general assistant at the MCTH of Iran, contributing to numerous publications and projects within my field.
