A special fundraising event featuring a panel discussion, a film screening, and a question and answer session to raise awareness and support for the ongoing struggle for human rights in Iran, in light of the #womanlifefreedom movement will be held at Bushel, Saturday, March 11, from 4-6:30 p.m.
This event is free to attend.
Bushel will collect donations for nonprofit organizations supporting current activism and to provide an artist fee to the filmmaker. The event takes place at Bushel, 106 Main Street, Delhi. Persian food, tea, and cookies will be served.
The event begins with a panel discussion with Iranian community members — including Delhi’s Tay Tea owner Nini Ordoubadi, architect and fashion designer Azin Valy, and community activist Miriam Nouri — who will share personal experiences as women who have lived in Iran and in the diaspora.
The panel will be followed by a screening of Dream of Silk (Nahid Rezaei, 2003, 43 minutes), selected from the recent “Films from Iran for Iran” program initiated by Another Gaze and shared with their cooperation.
