My Night/Your Day is not, per se, student work, but my involvement with the project comes from a graduate seminar in which I conversed with Morehshin Allyahri about a project called IRUS (IRan/US Collaborative) in which a group of artists in the US and Iran created collaborative works. Three years later, her co-curator on the My Night/Your Day project, Eden Unluata, contacted me regarding being part of a United States team working with a team of iranian artists to create a series of collaborative works through a Turkish translator (Zeren Goktan).

So far, the project has undergone two iterations, and is the subject of a TEDx Dallas talk.
