This year, five prolific young artists were chosen from over 150 submissions.

Here’s a look at the five artists.

• Arghavan Khosravi probes both personal and political experiences by integrating Persian motifs from her native Iran with imagery taken from contemporary media and popular culture that result in vibrant works on paper.
