Salon Evening – July 2nd
About the Salon
The information space around Iran and Israel is dominated by political narratives and selective highlighting of past events. This discussion will help us understand the cultural and historical roots of these narratives and discover the real life lived experience of someone who has strong connections to all three of the US, Iran and Israel. The result is a much more complicated and integrated look at these worlds, which are actually deeply interconnected.

Beyond Political Narratives
Understand deeper cultural and historical perspectives often overlooked.
Real-World Experience
Insights from someone directly connected to the US, Iran, and Israel.
Rare Intellectual Dialogue

Global Perspective
Explore interconnected histories and realities.
