The Simorgh, a private Vienna-based international organisation founded to encourage cultural and social exchange between Iran and the European Union in order to develop, enhance and improve human development and communication, recently hosted a photography project. From its website:
“Being Iranian”: A Photography Project
What does it mean to be Iranian? What are Iranian values, both to Iranians and non-Iranians? To answer this question, The Simorgh ran a photography competition on the topic of “Being Iranian” and received nearly 700 entries from all around the world. The photos show how Iranian society and its diaspora are changing, what values exist within and outside Iran, the balance between modernity and tradition, gender and generational issues, and how photography can capture the spirit of a people and culture. The top 50 photos, as selected by an international jury, were then published in the photography book “Being Iranian”. To read more, please visit thesimorgh.org
The Simorgh hosted the IDI during its 15th Meeting in Vienna.
