In a separate event at a Persian cultural center, Pahlavi met with female artists, curators, and writers to explore how women are preserving heritage through creative expression. The former Empress, who was a major patron of the arts during her time, encouraged the group to “tell stories that endure, even when borders and regimes change.” nShe highlighted the importance of supporting female voices in art and education, both exile. “Women have always been resilient,” she said. “In poetry, in painting, in teaching their children — they carry the soul of the nation.”
