If you want to understand Tehran not only through its streets but also through the minds and behaviors of its people, the book "Cultural Anthropology of the City of Tehran" offers a glimpse into both the visible and hidden layers of the city’s urban culture. It is a journey in which the city is not merely a geography, but a human experience.
"Cultural Anthropology of the City of Tehran" is a book first published in 2016 by a group of researchers and writers under the supervision of Dr. Nasser Fakouhi. Written with an anthropological approach, the book spans 516 pages. According to the content presented in the book, the central aim of this research is to provide a foundation for conducting deeper anthropological studies within the geographical context of Tehran.
"The Windows and the City’s Colorful Scales"
July 28, 2025The city of Tehran is connected to each of us through a particular image, even if we have never consciously thought about it. Surely, certain frames evoke a sense of belonging to Tehran within us. What we often gaze upon—repeatedly, at certain hours of the day—from behind our windows or inside our homes, usually consists of a dense cluster of buildings or a gathering of cars, sometimes adorned and softened by the green backdrop of trees. The contrast between the tall trees and the even taller buildings that appear before our eyes has gradually shaped a new definition of visual beauty in our city.
"Tehran was once Teh·raan."
July 23, 2025Looking at ourselves through the mirrors of a building from the past, part of which now remains, takes us to a distant but enduring place in Tehran's history; where "Tehran" was once "Tehran."
"Statement of the Tehran Exhibition"
July 19, 2025Tehran stands suspended somewhere in the twilight of its residents' sense of belonging.
At times, it is a capital for migrants who have come in search of opportunity and a better future. At other times, it is the birthplace of those who entered the world here, have lived each day in this city, and who—each day—grapple with an inner struggle born of a feeling deeper than what others may know: a conflict between love for the city and concepts such as frustration, crowding, speed, noise, and smog.
