The first exhibition for ‘Synergy and Empowerment in the Field of Economy, Social and Culture’ between Iran and the US is to be held on January 6-8 next year, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The IRUS (Iran-US) expo will introduce Iran’s great potential in culture and art from an economic perspective, and prepare the grounds for its qualitative extension, IRNA reported.
Besides, an exhibition covering Iran’s cinema, theater, music and literature will be held to provide more information about art fields in the country.
Executive director of the exhibition Fariba Arab said: “During the event, several Iranian movies will be screened in the presence of the production team. In addition, different art performances will be shown.”
This will give visitors the opportunity of direct interaction and get familiar with Iran’s culture and the arts, she said.
