Join us at Kucheh for an intimate evening with Neda Toloui-Semnani, the acclaimed author of They Said They Wanted Revolution and an Emmy Award–winning journalist whose work bridges personal memory, political history, and diasporic identity.

Set in the cozy, community-driven atmosphere of our art studio, this event is more than a reading—it’s a conversation. A gathering. A space for aspiring writers, curious readers, activists, and members of the Iranian diaspora and beyond to come together and learn from Neda’s journey as both a writer and a witness.

Neda’s memoir chronicles the reverberations of the Iranian Revolution through generations and across continents. Her work speaks to exile, belonging, resistance, and the complexities of inheritance—making this evening especially meaningful for anyone interested in the role of narrative in shaping identity and movement.

This event will unfold organically, with space for dialogue, questions, and shared reflection. Whether you’re a writer in the making, someone navigating diasporic identity, or simply drawn to the power of storytelling in community, we welcome you to bring your voice and presence into the circle.
