THREADS OF CONTINUITY – MAY 2016

A series of films, lectures and exhibitions focusing on the philosophy and ideals of Zoroastrianism in practice today affirming both tangible and intangible cultural heritage and the need to preserve it. The films, exhibitions and lectures will travel from the ruins of Persepolis to the present day, bringing to life an exuberant empire and its magnificence, its stories, its truths. What remains – is it only brick and mortar, is there a language, what are its beliefs, where are its people? The series is part of The Everlasting Flame International Programme and is organised in collaboration with Parzor Foundation, Ministry of Minority Affairs, Govt. of India, and UNESCO and with the support of Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Serum Institute
