WritersMosaic Live – Iranian women’s voices
Festival / Panel
Pigott Theatre, British Library, London, Monday 16 March 2026 7:00pm
For generations and with great courage, women in Iran have protested against the restrictions imposed on them. The chants of ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ have never diminished.
In the new publication Iranian Women’s Voices, creative women from Iran and the diaspora reflect on art, the constraints of present-day Iran and dreams for the future, inspired by the ‘The Rebel Poet of Iran’, filmmaker Forough Farrokhzad (1934–1967).
WritersMosaic presents an evening of conversation, poetry, film and music with writers Marjorie Lotfi, Sana Nassari and Shara Atashi and Iranian musicians, as well as the extraordinary photography of Hengameh Golestan, which documents women protesting the oppression of the Iranian authorities.
