Mahasti Afshar, Shiraz Arts Festival 1967-1977, Mage Publishers, 2024.
The book details the Shiraz Arts Festival, 1967-1977. Known as Jashn-e Honar-e Shiraz in Persian, the international performing arts festival was held in partnership with the Iranian National Radio and Television for 11 years every summer up to the onset of the 1979 Islamic revolution. Presented in Shiraz, Persepolis, and Naqsh-e Rostam, the programming celebrated classical, modern, and experimental works and generated a living dialogue among artists from diverse cultures. A living legacy of the Shiraz festival is the role it played in advancing Iranian music, theatre, and film.
