Mana is an Iranian visual artist and filmmaker based in Oakland, California. Her artworks usually reflect her dreams and personal experiences interacting with the time and space that they take place in. On her long journey as an immigrant artist she has expanded her body of knowledge and experience in art through different pathways, as a visual designer, museum guide, documentarian, mentor and filmmaker. But it is behind the camera where she finds herself the most comfortable telling her stories and can connect with her audience in an intimate way.
