• Ryma Sheermohammadi - Our Minds Remain Free: The Experience of Writing Poetry Behind Bars                                                                         Poetry in prison offers a unique perspective on time and place. The written word behind bars, influenced by the experiences of time and place, can become a tool of resistance, as seen in the poetry of Mahvash Sabet. Despite few in prisons choosing to write poetry, when writing emerges in confinement, it often carries emotionally charged narratives. Sabet’s poetry and the paradox of writing from the experience of imposed punishment lead to a creative process that fosters collective relief and hope for a future that transcends environmental conditions. Watch the video here 

• Arash Arjomandi - Why is the Sacred Word Said to be Creative?              Arash Arjomandi, a philosophy professor at UAB and member of the Center for Philosophical Studies at UPF, will propose a rational explanation of this universal principle proclaimed by all sacred revelations of humanity. His aim is to make it understandable and acceptable within our current rational and scientific framework. 

• Amin Egea - Abdu'l Baha and the Construction of Peace Bahá'í proposals for achieving peace. Firstly, what is the Bahá'í conception of the human being and how does it manifest in practice? Secondly, what social model aligns most coherently with this conception? Finally, how do these points contribute to peace?

• Rebeca Ledesma and Navid Hejazi - Native American-Inspired Music  On Saturday night, we will listen to violinist and composer Navid Hejazi perform a series of musical pieces inspired by Native American music, accompanied by recitations from actress, playwright, and stage director Rebeca Ledesma. Watch the video here
