There are many faces that a country can project. The most obvious is the political face and in the case of Iran, the most common portrayal of it’s face in the western press is of a strict religious and politically outcast state. Iran, engulfs so many distinct cultures and ethnicities.
Today Iran actively engages in the preservation of all these varied heritages; something that sadly no other country in the region seems inclined to do. I have conducted a personal project to document artifacts and customs that have survived for thousands of years, but may on the verge of disappearing.
