Iranian diaspora literature on display in Tehran

The Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (Kanoon) is holding an exhibition of works by Iranian authors and illustrators based abroad, featuring 300 titles published in multiple languages.
The exhibition, titled ‘Tak-Khal’ (Champ), is being held at Kanoon’s central library through February 19, Mehr News Agency reported.
The showcase underscores the growing international presence and impact of Iranian literary talent, providing a valuable platform for diaspora authors to connect with audiences within Iran.
The exhibition’s name is derived from ‘Tak-Khal,’ a book by Payam Ebrahimi, which has been translated into seven languages and serves as a symbol of Iranian cultural influence on the global stage.
Kanoon recently issued a call inviting Iranian creators residing overseas to donate or loan books published abroad. The initiative garnered a substantial response, with writers, illustrators, and publishers submitting a diverse range of works.
The exhibition aims to highlight the breadth of Iranian literary production beyond national borders, fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
Concurrent with the exhibition, Kanoon plans to host specialized workshops and related programs, with schedules to be announced shortly.
