At the heart of A Utopian Stage, Meem Gallery's current exhibition, curated by Vali Mahlouji is the display of the Shiraz Festival of Arts archival material containing original catalogues, newsletters, posters and other documents from the festival's inception to its unfortunate end. The materials were directly acquired by the Al Noor Library for the purposes of archiving and exhibiting.
The collection of the materials is a testament to the Library's vision for preserving the study of the region in all its diversity and richness. Hear about the importance of the archival materials and the role of the Al Noor Library from its Founder and our Managing Director, Charles Pocock.
