Disco Diaspora ★ From Tehran to Tehrangeles ♫

Disco Diaspora ★ From Tehran to Tehrangeles ★ Other Futures Festival
Saturday 22.11.25 @ Mezrab

Disco Diaspora is a cinematic and immersive multidisciplinary party that reimagines the dance floor as a space of visual, sonic, and archival exploration. Each edition moves across geographies and eras to trace the aesthetics of diasporic expression through music, image, and movement.

The first iteration at Mezrab, From Tehran to Tehrangeles, dives into the vibrant world of Iranian music and video culture, from iconic stars like Googoosh, Shohreh, and Leila Forouhar to legendary groups such as the Black Cats and Andy & Kouros, and Tehrangeles starlets like Susan Roshan. Showcasing both rare and well-known video clips from across decades, this four-hour curated program invites audiences to party while delving into the sweeping visuals of the Iranian music-video archive to (re)discover and experience the shifting soundscapes and imagery of Iranian pop from the 1970s to the 2000s as both a cultural and socio-political phenomenon.

Disco Diaspora: From Tehran to Tehrangeles is curated by Katayoun Arian as part of the Other Futures Festival’s lead-up programming
