Iranian Literary Arts Festival

Description

The festival includes films, panels, art exhibit, parties, gala celebration, and ICARUS/RISE, created by Niloufar Talebi with original score by Bobak Salehi and choreography and video by Alex Ketley.

ICARUS/RISE, which connects the myth of Icarus with the migration of Iranians, and the solitary journey of the artist/migrant in the quest for freedom. ICARUS/RISE begins after the fall and is the journey to self-possession, featuring the emerging voices of Iranian poetry, including Ziba Karbassi, Granaz Moussavi, Maryam Huleh and Shahrouz Rashid, the poet of “Icarus”.

Festival in partnership with Beyond Persia.
