Appunti di cultura iraniana. O persiana.

Quando si parla dell’Iran e dell’orrendo regime degli ayatollah, arriva immancabilmente il solito redarguitore da salotto: “Sì, però la cultura persiana…”. Giusto. L’Iran è una civiltà raffinatissima, una delle grandi matrici del mondo, patria di poesia, filosofia, architetture da togliere il fiato e di una memoria storica che fa impallidire mezzo Occidente. Ma, detto senza troppi giri di parole, lapidare donne e impiccare omosessuali non mi pare esattamente un biglietto da […]

NB: turns out *everyone* paints or otherwise decorates eggs. Because birds produce them in spring, they're part of spring festivals, and humans being human, we're like, "That's a flat (enough) surface. I could make art on it. Hold my beer..."

We had my sister-in-law's boyfriend to our house yesterday, who is from #Iran, and my kids were making coloured eggs. He pointed out that they do that in Iran, too, for #Nowruz, and now I *must* find out if these practices are related!

Nowruz is an *ancient* holiday, and #Easter is an old #pagan word for a very #Christian holiday, but "Easter" for many people is eggs and bunnies (ie, #RitesOfSpring), so this stuff could ALL be related.

L'ombra pesante della sopravvivenza in Iran. La testimonianza di Papital Gallery

Il collettivo di creative e creativi iraniani realizza i gioielli distribuiti da AltraQualità nella rete del commercio equo e solidale. Dai festeggiamenti mancati del Nowruz a quella che è diventata la priorità assoluta, ovvero preservare la vita umana, tentanto di proseguire. “Le condizioni sono incredibilmente difficili -scrivono- ma quale altra scelta abbiamo se non andare avanti?”

"Not so long ago, celebrating each other’s festivals felt more ordinary – here in this country, friends would join unfamiliar rituals and meals. Curiosity was met with generosity. Conflicts make us less open, less tolerant of each other. As the worst of it plays out around the world, it is worth holding on to the things that bring us together, like table, food, celebration, communion – the best of us, really."

Itamar Srulovich looks at Eid, Nowruz, Passover, and Easter and notes,

"What’s striking, when you lay these celebrations side by side, is not their difference but their similarities. Each one speaks in its own language of resilience and renewal. Each gathers people around a table and asks them to pause, remember and begin again."
