We're posting out, usually twice every 30 days, events and news around the Iranian arts and culture show: Six Pillars to Persia on arts-music radio station Resonance104.4FM
News includes: podcast links of superb audio, the latest competitions and news of further events around the globe linked to Iranian and wider Middle Eastern arts and culture.
The radio show goes out on the airwaves Mondays 13.30, repeats Sundays 20.30 on 104.4FM on your radio dial, up to zone 6 in London and www.resonancefm.com/listen elsewhere.
With potentially 7 million Londoners listening on air, we are doing very well in that ResonanceFM now has more listeners that BBC Asian Network, a national station, listening online alone!

Dec 8th-11th, One Night with Rostam
Four Iranian women artists show pieces on the Shahnameh ('The Book of Kings'). Artworks vary from oil, to papier-mache to sound sculpture. The exhibition marks the Millennium anniversary of the completion of the book, a national treasure that established the Iranian language in the courts of Iran when it was in danger of losing out to Arabic. Not to miss! Artists: Afsoon, Neda Dana-Haeri, Farnaz, Yassi Golshani.
