Issue 6

Remembering Shiraz

For the sixth issue, Angah chose the subject of Shiraz, entitled “Shiraz: The City of Conversation.” Humans are the ones who are most affected by their environment, and we must not overlook the impact of humans on cities. Humans have always put a high value on the environment, and Angah attempts to explore this relationship with Shiraz.

The Shiraz issue opens with a poem by Hafez and a photo of a few women in Hafez’s tomb by Abbas Attar, a well-known photojournalist.

Interviews with Ebrahim Golestan, Mohammad Keshavarz, Bahram Dabiri, and Gholamhossein Saber feature in the sixth issue.

“Many writers have written about their cities,” Ali Amir Riahi writes in the opening article. About cities with labyrinths of alleys and streets that provided residents and inhabitants with a sense of identity and existence. Cities, on the other hand, derive their color and moods from their inhabitants. The mood of a city is determined by the tastes of its inhabitants.”

Mohammad Sarvi analyzes Shiraz from a historical perspective in his piece “In a Foreign Country.” The article “We two or three, gathered in a private…” delves more into the Shiraz literary meetings. A range of intriguing photos from places and people, as well as other sites in Shiraz, are attached to each of these articles.
