Aaran Projects
This is a story of departures and no arrivals
An endless quest for a utopian city which probably never existed anywhere
A requiem for a collective imagined and desired land referred here as Tehran
An Iranian endeavor to create a utopia
A Greek word meaning a place that does not exist
A weired fusion that none of its components shows any commitment to creating or re-imagining an idealistic social order
End point and present for scores of migrants
Those who walk the earth in a self-created dream of happiness and infinite hope for better days to come
Destination is Tehran
A city we might never reach
Ebtehaj Ghanadzadeh
