About

How do we truly experience a culture? Is it through sight, sound, scent, or movement?  Artist Sahar Saki invites audiences across South and West Wales to explore Persian heritage in a fully immersive way – where poetry is not just read but walked through, music is felt as well as heard, and art is something to step inside.

#PersianTour is an evolving, multi-sensory exhibition transforming galleries into spaces that embody Iranian culture. Each venue becomes a “mini Iran” in which Persian poetry, calligraphy, music, dance, and even scent create an environment that invites audiences to engage with the culture beyond the visual.

Each gallery will be transformed into a living artwork, with Saki painting Persian poetry directly onto the walls in large-scale calligraphy. The exhibition incorporates contemporary Iranian poetry, live dance performances, Persian music, and interactive workshops, allowing visitors to engage in Persian calligraphy and traditional pattern design. The scent of rosewater will also fill the space, ensuring that audiences experience Persian culture through all their senses.

#PersianTour is more than an exhibition: it is a celebration, a journey, and a meeting place for cultures. Audiences are warmly invited to step inside, engage their senses, and be part of this transformative experience.
