  • Women in Technology
  • Authors and Power of the Narrative
  • Contemporary Iranian Art
  • Breaking Traditional Taboos: Let's Have a Courageous Conversation
  • Embracing the Inner-Critics and Overcoming Obstacles
  • Lead Like a Woman
  • Women in Cultural Heritage
  • Women in Media
IHF is sponsoring and organising the session on ‘Women in Cultural Heritage’, which will be a panel discussion with the following expert speakers: Sussan Babaie (The Courtauld Institute of Art), Narguess Farzad (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London) and Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis (The British Museum), and will be chaired by IHF trustee and curator, Ina Sandmann (Sarikhani Collection of Iranian Art).
