On a chilly December evening, as New York City hummed with holiday cheer, a quiet enchantment unfolded on Leonard Street in Tribeca. Beneath the glow of fairy lights and the faint din of clinking glasses, renowned contemporary artist Firouz FarmanFarmaian opened the doors to his Nomads of Persia exhibition at Salomon Arts Gallery. It was more than just an art opening; it was an immersive celebration of heritage, artistry, and resilience—a perfect antidote to the city’s winter bustle.
