What Empire Cannot Erase

April 19, 2026 • 10:00 – 11:30am PDT (find your local time)
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82963653279?pwd=7G6aM3thTc2VDjMn8NIApFObMcgbTZ.1We are watching, once again, what empire does: not only to bodies, but to the long memory of a people; to the libraries and sacred sites; to art, language, and the ruins that hold the oldest threads of human spiritual inquiry.
We are thinking of the civilization that gave us Rumi, Hafez, Omar Khayyam, Forough Farrokhzad — mystics and rebels and lovers of paradox who understood something about the human soul that we are still, centuries later, trying to catch up to.
This gathering is an invitation to come together: to read poetry aloud, to hear from #Iranian voices, to sit with grief and beauty together rather than alone.
We will work with #political and #moral vocabulary shaped by Iranian thinkers such as Ali Shariati, who wrote against domination, spiritual emptiness, and the violence of imposed power.
We will make space for what doesn’t fit into headlines or talking points—the complexity of empire, the difference between a government and its people, the #authoritarian forces at work not only abroad but here at home. We also gather with the political inheritance of those who taught generations to resist domination and spiritual emptiness, including Ali Shariati.
