Abstract As a young refugee in Iran, Naseer Yasna Mansouri learned woodcarving from an Iraqi master craftsman, but it was not until he returned to his homeland of Afghanistan as a young man that he reconnected with his Afghan and Islamic heritage. Once his appetite for exploring various traditions was whetted, he set out on a journey that has parlayed interactions with other professionals and engagement with historic artifacts into an open-ended practice. This statement focuses on the key experiences that have shaped Naseer’s work. He explains how he has grown as a practitioner and how, by connecting to centuries of tradition while at the same time remaining analytical and open to new ideas, he creates fresh work. In this way he endeavors to keep his craft relevant.

根植于传统的实践：我的发现之旅

摘要 作为一名在伊朗的年轻难民，纳西尔·亚斯纳·曼苏里 (Naseer Yasna Mansouri) 从一位伊拉克工匠大师那里学习了木雕，但直到他年轻时回到阿富汗的故乡，他才重新与阿富汗和伊斯兰遗产建立了联系。一旦他对探索各种传统的兴趣被激发，他就开始了一段旅程，将与其他专业人士的互动以及与历史文物的接触转化为开放式实践。本声明侧重于塑造纳西尔工作的关键经验。他解释了他如何成长为一名实践者，以及如何通过连接数百年的传统，同时保持分析和对新想法的开放，创造新的作品。通过这种方式，他努力保持自己的工艺相关。
