How can art and storytelling change the way we see a country?

In this episode of Iran Unveiled, we explore the work of Marjane Satrapi and discuss how her graphic memoir Persepolis has shaped international perceptions of Iran. We examine the role of literature, film and visual art in representing Iranian identity, culture and history, and consider how creative voices can challenge stereotypes and offer a more personal understanding of the country.

We also highlight a selection of contemporary Iranian artists whose work reflects the diversity and richness of Iranian culture today.

Whether you're interested in Iranian culture, graphic novels, film, or contemporary art, this episode explores how storytelling can provide perspectives that often go beyond news headlines.
