For Bushehr
Bushehr is a place I’ve never visited. It’s only via books and stories that I’ve learned anything about it. For me, Bushehr is sad because of the heat and humidity, the scorching sun, and the people.Bushehr is the consistent tonality of Damam and Neyanban for me. For me, Bushehr is Kiomars Pourahmad’s film “For Hanieh.” It’s a picture of a young topless and tanned lad lying on the beach after a long day of playing, exhausted and looking forward to the dawn of a new day. Anghah magazine devotes each issue to a new subject from a new perspective, issues that may have been examined previously about the historical vision of Angah on each subject makes it so enjoyable and distinctive.
Angah explored Shiraz in the sixth issue, but Bushehr was picked as the subject, and if you’ve never gone to Bushehr, reading this issue will make you feel as if you’ve taken a brief trip to this southern port, to Bushehr; the gate of tolerance. In the winter of 2020, the tenth issue of Angah art and culture magazine was published, with the subject of “Bushehr; The gate of tolerance”.
This issue’s fill-in-editor is Hamidreza Mohammadi. The appealing color of the cover conjures up images of Bushehr’s heat and shine, as well as the sun’s spread across Iran’s southern border and people’s joy. “Bushehr is an example of an Iranian city in the magnitude of the country, like Tehran,” writes Mohammad Beheshti on the opening page.
Studying the people of each era is the most essential part of understanding that era. Angah describes the history and background of this southern city, as well as the lovely stories of fortitude and perseverance of its inhabitants, from “a few thousand years ago to just now”. Tells the story of “The chant of persian sailors” and “The City of tolerance”. From “Hot and sometimes powerless nights of Bushehr” to “Architecture of Bushehr in one glance”. It has interviews with Seyed Jaffar Hamidi, Iraj Saghiri, Abdolkarim Mashayekhi, Mohsen Sharifian and others. This issue of angah will take us to Bushehr.
