About the event
Join us in London for the launch of ‘Iran +100’ which poses a question to ten Iranian authors: What might Iran look like in the year 2053, a century after the coup that overthrew the democratically-elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh?
During this special book event held as part of the Nowruz Festival, you'll hear readings from this powerful anthology, followed by a panel discussion with contributors from the book including the editor Leila Elder, Alireza Abiz and and Navid Hamzavi. From the sinking of Tehran into a great, tourist-attracting ‘Pit’, to inter-dimensional voids revealing parallel universes, these stories explore contemporary concerns extrapolated into strange futures, demonstrating how old struggles can always find new forms of expression. This event is held as part of the Nowruz Festival celebrations at Lauderdale House.
