TEHRAN -- A group of South Korean artists will be arriving in Tehran today to implement a program entitled “Friendship with the People of Tehran”.
The ten-day program has been organized based on a memorandum of understanding, which was signed between the Iranian Academy of Arts and the Arts Council Korea (ARKO) last year, the Iranian Academy of Arts announced in a press release on Sunday.
The program will start at the academy on the first day with the construction of a temporary house, at which members of the group will create and offer their own works.
Among the highlights of the program are the creating of artwork with recyclable materials, staging musical and dramatic performances, and the reading of poetry.
They also will meet four prominent Iranian artists at their workshops and ateliers to be familiarized with Iranian traditional glassmaking, sculpture, tile making and calligraphic painting.
The group is also scheduled to visit a number of major museums, monuments and cultural centers in the capital.
On the last day of their program, they will attend a meeting at the Iranian Academy of Arts to discuss the outcomes of their program.
