"...our students at Writers Week this year
loved your interaction and sincerity..."
- Greyslake Central High School

"So much stayed with me... a watered hymn,
... [the poem] was a hymn of prayers!"
- Ian McMillan, The Verb on the BBC Radio 3
​
Find her in elementary and secondary schools providing art enrichments or touring colleges, universities, conferences, theaters, and clubs as a solo artist/facilitator or collective member of the Interfaith Poets and Surviving the Mic or »radiant devices«.

She has served as the Director of the 29th National Poetry Slam, and as the Education Director for both Chicago Slam Works and Chicago Poetry Center!
​
Mojdeh's work is rooted in the belief that art has the greatest capacity to provide catalysts to healthy community conversations, assist individuals in managing the effects of trauma, and can create great social and cognitive change.

      

                                                                       »radiant devices«

Mojdeh's alternate persona on the stage comes alive with this art rock project where she serves as front woman: at times playing bass, guitar, percussion, megaphone or propane tank!  She is all sorts of poetry and magic in this band!

Mojdeh is a 2020 recipient of the DCASE grant to produce a series of performances, talks, and their next album.
