Guest on this weeks show is Mania Akbari.

Mania Akbari, leading actress in Abbas Kiarostami’s film “Ten”, has her first solo show in London at Xerxes art gallery until Dec 6th.

Here in London, Mania shows a series of pictures and films under the title of The “Many Faces of Eve”.

The work reflects her feminist views on how Iranian women, and women around the world, are treated. The first series of images depicts Mandana, a girl with Down’s syndrome in various female roles. The second series is called Mania Devastation, and documents her scars from her recent battle with breast cancer.

Also this Monday on Six Pillars to Persia we are giving away two pairs of tickets to not one, not two, not three but four consecutive art film screenings at the Barbican on Sat Dec 6th. This series is called the “Untitled series and looks at film and video art from Iran in four main ways. Starting at 13.00 each screening is followed by a Q & A with the artists who are mostly not from the UK.
