Diwans.org

"Diwans.org" is a participatory web project proposing an intercultural dialogue through artistic responses. "Diwans.org" is generated by people around the world who are invited to produce audio-visual creations inspired by the Diwan poetry of Persian poet Hafez and German writer Goethe. "Diwans.org" is a contemporary interactive Diwan poetry bundle, in which you can contribute with an audio-visual response, discover which creations your work inspires, deepen yourself in the related contexts or simply enjoy the audio-visual poetry. At its core, "Diwans.org" is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting how we perceive the relation between different cultures in a poetic mode. We hope it will create an alternative space on internet, where the poetical and the political can dialogue and (new) ways of storytelling and artistic production are experimented. We hope it helps people see the inspirations of a growing intercultural community.
