The Power of a Lie

The Power of a Lie
By: Shahireh Sharif
Amongst the familiar and anonymous faces of work colleagues and acquaintances saying their last goodbyes to my father, he was the only one that I recall. That said, if it weren’t for his tight embrace and the genuine-looking tear in his eye as he offered his condolences, I might not have remembered him three days later when I was waiting for a taxi. He pulled over and offered me a lift. I told him I was going to Baharestan which apparently was on his way. His car, a white Peykan Javanan overtaken by the stench of lingered tobacco, had miniature prayer beads dangling from its rear view mirror. He had a tattoo on his upper arm, mostly covered by the short sleeve of his off-white T-shirt. He didn’t seem the type that my father would associate with. I asked him how he knew my father and his response added to the aura of mystery that surrounded him. “We must talk about that, but not now.” He suggested we met up after the seventh day of my father’s departure ceremony. His response to such a simple and basic question didn’t make sense. I don’t normally care for people who make everything more complex than necessary. Any other time I would have made an excuse and walked away. But how could I miss the opportunity of knowing something about one of my late father’s unusual acquaintances. I agreed to meet up. The only information that he offered on that occasion was his name, Majid. Four days later, as I joined the men in the close family and friends circle in the local barber to have our beard – the sign of mourning – shaved, I was still thinking about Majid. I wondered if he should have been included...

Your Zine, your way
In collaboration with Multitudes Zine Fest, Friends of Shahnameh is running a free zine workshop for adults and children on the 5th April 2-4pm, at Gatley Hill House (Church Rd, Gatley, Cheadle SK8 4EY). Places are limited and are based on first come, first served basis. You can book your free ticket by clicking on the link below:

Materials such as paper, glue, colours and old magazines will be provided for you to make a 1-page zine but you can bring anything you want. It can be words or pictures. To make the simplest zine all you need is a paper and pen.
You can make it about anything you want. Any words, any pictures, any language. However, if you'd like to exhibit your work at the annual Ferdowsi day on the12th May please note zines on the following topics (Shahnameh, books, family and nature) could be displayed at an exhibition held on the 14th Commemoration Day of Ferdowsi, subject to Terms & Conditions.
There are 3 age groups for the zines submitted for the exhibition:
Under 8 years old
8 to 16 years old
Over 16 and adults
Multitudes Zine Festival will print 15 copies of finished zines. We'll send 10 to you for you to hand out or sell or leave as an unexpected gift on a bus seat. We'll keep the remaining 5 to feature in the Multitudes Zine Fest in 2024 on 17th August.طراحی مجله از مطالب دلخواه خودتان در کارگاه رایگان زین با دوستان شاهنامه
