It is a reflective dialogue on belonging, war, memory, responsibility, migration, grief, justice-seeking, and the fragile possibility of care and beauty in catastrophic times.Drawing from decades of artistic practice, political engagement, and personal loss following the political assassination of her parents in Iran, Forouhar reflects on multiple and intertwined identities: artist, migrant, mother, activist, witness, and Iranian woman.Together, the conversation explores:— Iranian identity and belonging during war— the ethics of witnessing and survivor’s responsibility— protest and care— beauty and violence— grief, shame, and political narration— migration and in-betweenness— authoritarianism and eliminationist politics— Woman, Life, Freedom— dialogue in polarized times— and the responsibility of preserving humanity amid destructionRather than reproducing simplified binaries, this episode opens a space for complexity, contradiction, reflection, and human vulnerability.Safar-e Ma’na | The Journey of Meaning is a bilingual long-form podcast exploring meaning-making across embodiment, memory, ethics, art, crisis, and lived experience.Guest: Parastou ForouharHost: Mahboubeh AbbasgholizadehMahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh is an Iranian–American journalist, ecofeminist thinker, mindfulness mentor, meaning-oriented researcher, and facilitator of reflective dialogue.
