Cultural Explorations
Executing Projects, Preserving Culture, Connecting Stories
Curiosity about cultural and social activities has opened the door to numerous adventures, each offering valuable learning experiences and opportunities for growth. These journeys have allowed us to explore diverse projects and support meaningful initiatives. Here, you’ll find a summary of previous activities and projects sponsored or supported by Souzian, showcasing our commitment to preserving culture.
Tehran Walking Tour Project
First International Project
I founded the Tehran Free Walking Tour in 2015, aiming to introduce Tehran’s rich culture and history to international travelers. Over the course of 9 years (2015–2024), I led more than 500 walking tours, offering immersive experiences that highlight the city’s hidden gems, from historical landmarks to cultural hotspots. Alongside the tours, I created podcasts exploring Tehran’s history and culture, reaching a global audience and fostering deeper connections.
This project combined my passion for culture, history, and storytelling with skills in management and community building, creating meaningful experiences for travelers.
Travel to Iran Podcast
Travel to Iran Podcast
The Travel to Iran podcast was born from the idea of sharing the same insights and stories I offer during my Tehran tours. Encouraged by an Irish traveler who believed content matters more than perfect English, I overcame my hesitation and launched the podcast to connect with a global audience.
The episodes cover everything from Tehran’s history, transportation, food, and culture to practical tips about prices and visas. Starting with why you should visit Iran, the podcast provides helpful and engaging information for anyone curious about the country.
Cinema Journey Podcast (Persian)
Safar Cinema - سفر سینما
The collaboration with Alexander began in March 2021—a passionate cinephile who has traveled the world for his love of cinema. His stories are endless, and you could spend hours listening to him talk about global cinema, learning something new at every turn.
This project was initiated and supported by Mr. Milad Abbasi. Alexander has conducted extensive personal research and begins the podcast with the story of the Lumière brothers. In the first season, he delves into the history of cinema, various cinematic movements, and the development of cinema across different regions of the world, up to the start of World War II.
Currently, this podcast is available in Persian, but we hope to release it in other languages in the future.
Souzian is proud to be the producer and sponsor of this podcast.
Preserving the Folk Music of Southwest Iran
Record and Publish my Father's Album
Preserving musical heritage has always been a personal passion of mine. My father spent years singing in solitude, performing folk songs in both Lori and Arabic—languages of our region. These songs, deeply rooted in tradition, inspired me to record, process, and release them under Creative Commons licensing.
The social and political challenges over the past century have caused division among Iranian ethnic groups, but in Khuzestan, the shared cultural ties between Lori and Arab communities have created a unique unity and “common language.”
The album AVA-e-Pedar reflects the voice of a tired yet resilient man—a farmer who recalls the bittersweet memories of his youth through songs of farewell and longing.
This project is a tribute to:
- Respecting a father’s legacy and sacrifices.
- Honoring the ethnic diversity and rich cultural identity of Iran.
- Recording and preserving traditional melodies for future generations.
I am committed to continuing this journey by collaborating with others dedicated to safeguarding the vibrant folk music of Iran.
Free License Stock Footage and Photos
Volunteer Photo and Video Footage sharing
For years, I’ve been sharing a large part of my photos and video footage online for free under a Creative Commons license. I firmly believe that contributing to collective efforts helps foster growth and collaboration in art and culture.
The photos and videos I’ve shared include a diverse range of subjects, such as historical landmarks, urban areas, natural landscapes, portraits, and even a collection of underwater photography. These visuals aim to provide creators and organizations around the world with the resources they need to tell compelling stories, especially when access to high-quality media is limited.
There are many people globally who share your passion for important topics but don’t have the means to produce professional-grade visuals. By making my archive available on platforms like Unsplash and Pexels, I’ve enabled them to bring their ideas to life without worrying about access to quality imagery.
The statistics speak for themselves—millions of views and thousands of downloads highlight how widely this content has been appreciated and utilized worldwide. For me, this is more than just sharing images; it’s about building bridges, fostering creativity, and supporting a global culture of sharing and collaboration.
Collaboration with TEDx Esfahan
Video Production
In April 2021, I had the privilege of creating a video for the TEDx University of Isfahan conference. In this talk, Dr. Mojtaba Nikpour delves into the psychology of diet and weight loss, presenting his unique methods and insights.
Due to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, filming on an empty stage in another city was not feasible. Instead, the video was creatively produced using a green screen, and a carefully designed contrasting background was added to enhance the presentation’s visual appeal.
This collaboration demonstrated the power of innovation in overcoming obstacles and delivering high-quality content for a prestigious platform like TEDx.
Restoring a 1976 Soviet Film
The Legend of Siavush
This restoration project brings new life to The Legend of Siavush, a 1976 film directed by Boris Kimyagarov, from Tajikestan, based on Ferdowsi’s timeless epic Shahnameh. The story, rooted in Iranian mythology, has been carefully restored to preserve its cultural and historical significance.
Our goal is to make this classic accessible to Iranian audiences, especially younger generations, while ensuring its legacy remains intact for future viewers.
Wikipedia Contributions
Articles about Festivals & Documentaries
I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia since 2009. Over the years, I’ve focused on improving and creating articles about topics that interest me, such as historical figures, geographic locations, significant events, and deserving artists who I believe merit recognition on this platform.
Currently, my efforts are centered on expanding and enhancing articles related to film festivals. This includes adding detailed lists of winners and nominees, creating pages for films and directors, and ensuring comprehensive coverage. I contribute in both Persian and English, and this is a long-term project that I plan to continue developing in the years to come.
FAQ
What does Souzian mean?
Souzian is the ancient name of the Khuzestan province, a region in Iran with one of the oldest histories in the world. Often referred to as the “birthplace of the nation,” Khuzestan is where the history of the Elamites began. This region was historically one of the most significant in the Ancient Near East, known as Elam, with its capital at Susa.
When the Achaemenid Empire conquered Elam, they referred to it in Old Persian as Hujiyā, a name that has evolved into the modern Khuzestan. The name Khuzestan, meaning “the Land of the Khuz,” refers to the original inhabitants, known as the Susian people. In Old Persian, they were called “Huza” or “Huja,” as inscribed at the tomb of Darius the Great at Naqsh-e Rostam. Hebrew sources also mention them as “Hauja” or “Huja.” Over time, in Middle Persian, the term evolved into “Khuz” or “Kuzi,” and pre-Islamic Partho-Sasanian inscriptions refer to the region as Khwuzestan.
Khuzestan, therefore, literally means “The Land of the Khuzi,” referring to the original Susian inhabitants.
P.S. The main image is of the Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat, which is considered by UNESCO as the best-preserved example of a stepped pyramidal monument. In 1979, Chogha Zanbil became the first Iranian site to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Supporting Charities and Institutions?
Yes, we do offer volunteer services for charities, educational institutions, and similar organizations. Our primary concern is ensuring that your organization operates legally.
