Many faces of Laleh-zar
The twelfth issue of Angah magazine was released in the fall of 2020, with the subject “Laleh-Zar Street, The nightingale”.
“There is no shared knowledge of laleh-zar, since to have a shared knowledge of something, there must be comprehension, yet laleh-zar is an unknown location”. This issue starts with this sentence. In the opening article, Navid Pourmohammad Reza poses a crucial question to the reader: “Which Laleh-zar?” He argues that the laleh-zar in popular culture, such as movies and novels, and in people’s minds is vastly different than it is now. And it’s because of this discrepancy that admitting the truth is hard.
In an interview with Aida Maftahi, Darioush Asadzadeh believes that the Lahleh-zar of the past is even more intriguing than the Champs-Élysées of Paris. Pirooz Hanachi, the Tehran governor, argues in another interview with Hossein Shahrabi on the significance of manuplicy in having a more cultural and peaceful Laleh-zar with a more appropriate economic model. In an interview with Angah, Bijan Shafei points out that the development of Laleh-zar into an electric store hub is a natural one.
Laleh-zar has affected literature as well, as Ali Masoudnia explores a few works by well-known Iranian authors and attempts to interpret them. True, the past Laleh-zar was a magnificent, nice-smelling, and stylish Laleh-zar, but the reality remains that Laleh-zar has survivors, who are best defined by Ashkan Gholipour as “sole witnesses of Laleh-zar, crumpled portraits with Infectious wound of memories.”
