Human experience, shaped by the world within and around us, is at the center of Setareh’s work.

She is a composer, performer, and interdisciplinary maker, weaving music, poetry, and performing arts to create holistic pieces that not only ask questions but also seek new possibilities.

By researching human struggles derived from psychological barriers and inter-relational conditioning, her pieces—whether for choir, opera, or interdisciplinary works for dance and performing arts—aim to disrupt destructive patterns and bring focus to our shared humanity, offering hopeful prospects.

Nafisi leaves us with a sense of hope and togetherness. “We’re all the same.”
