Najva Sol is a Iranian-American writer, photographer, and multi-media artist. She was born in the DC area, and received her BA in Creative Writing from Eugene Lang The New School For Liberal Arts. Since then, she has worked at various non-profits that deal with some combination of art presenting, queer empowerment, people of color, social justice, and education. She co-founded an artist collective called The Lowbrow Society for the Arts in NYC, where she curated various underground events, including a renegade art show on a subway car. She is currently an MFA drop-out in poetry at the California College of the Arts.
Her writing has been published in Look Look Magazine, AM New York, Release, Inprint, Periwinkle, Bitch Magazine, and more. Her other work was recently featured in the National Queer Arts Festival (2010 + 2011), Femina Potens Gallery, Commonwealth Club, and The Red Poppy Art House. Lowbrow Society has appeared in Nerve.com, New York Press, San Francisco Bay Guardian, and Time Out New York.
