Please bring your favourite Maulana/Rumi poem to share/read in Farsi or whatever translation is dear to your heart. Or, just come to listen.

Javad will also read a selection of poems in Farsi for us and speak about a selection of their mixed-media works on paper exhibited, inspired by Maulana/Rumi's poems.
