Iran is at a crossroads: following the death of President Raisi, executions and political arrests remain a grim reality. However, the resistance is still strong. Hostages are being freed, and EU states are attempting to classify the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. What place does literature have in all this? And social media? A conversation between a poet and a social media activist who have paid a high price for their desire for freedom.
With Mahtab Yaghma und Sareh (Zahra Sedighi Hamadani)
Moderated by Tanja Dückers.
The event will be held in English and Farsi. Translated by Nuschin Maryam Mameghanian-Prenzlow.
In cooperation with PEN Berlin
