Tara Aghdashloo’s Lavish Wedding Celebration at Carrières des Lumières

Writing

Tara’s prowess as a writer extends to both poetry and prose. Her poetry collection, titled “This is Not a Pomegranate,” was published by Shahrvand Publications in 2011. Her poems have been featured in English-language and Persian magazines, showcasing her ability to bridge cultures through the universal language of poetry.

In the realm of essays, articles, and reviews, Tara’s work has graced the pages of esteemed publications such as The Guardian, REALLIFE Magazine, The New Inquiry, Tank Magazine, Autodidact Magazine, Ibraaz, Fashion Magazine, ArtRabbit, Ottawa Citizen, Future Fossil Flora Magazine, Reorient Magazine, BULLETT, and Capsule 98, among others.

A noteworthy collaboration in the realm of music and lyrics involved Tara’s contribution to King Raam’s debut solo album, “Songs of The Wolves.” Her poetic sensibilities added depth and emotion to the album’s lyrical content.

Tara’s writing extends beyond the realms of culture and arts, as she has also ventured into the arena of socio-political commentary. Her Op-Ed on the protests that erupted in Iran, published in The Financial Times in October 2022, showcased her ability to critically engage with global events.

In December 2022, Tara published another impactful piece, this time focused on the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement in Iran and its profound impact on society. Her unique perspective, rooted in her experiences as an Iranian-Canadian, adds depth to her analysis of socio-political issues in the region.
