STAMFORD, Conn. — As an Iranian in America and as a woman raised by a secular family in a theocratic state, painter Arghavan Khosravi is in some ways neither here nor there, neither this nor that.
“I haven’t traveled back to Iran for almost seven years, and now I’m living here for nine years,” she told the Globe in an interview in her Connecticut studio. “I don’t feel that I totally belong to here still. Or back home. I’m feeling I’m living in that third space.”
