Hear the chants of ‘Women, Life, Freedom’, as strong as they’ve ever been, echoing through generations of Iranian women protesting imposed, patriarchal restrictions. Inspired by the ‘rebel poet of Iran’ Forugh Farrokhzad, new publication Iranian Women’s Voices brings together the perspectives of creative women in Iran and the diaspora, as they reflect on art, the constraints of present-day Iran and their dreams for the future.
Join this afternoon of poetry, film and Iranian music, presented by WritersMosaic, with writer and translator Shara Atashi, poet author Sana Nassari, poet and performer Marjorie Lotfi and musician Roya Arab. The event is introduced by historian Colin Grant and features the extraordinary documentary photography of Hengameh Golestan, whose work captures women protesting the oppression of the Iranian authorities.
