New Exhibition 'Living Zoroastrianism'

From the 12th October till the 15th December 2018, the Foyle Special Collections Gallery within the Brunei Gallery at SOAS University of London will play host to an exciting new exhibition titled ‘Living Zoroastrianism’.

A meeting of the ancient and the modern, this unique interactive exhibition engages the public in the Virtual Reality (VR) experience of a three-thousand years old Zoroastrian ritual in which the viewer will be immersed by means of VR glasses. Originating in ancient pre-Islamic Iran, the ritual was filmed in Mumbai 2017 with cutting edge spherical video technology.

Visitors can also experience contemporary Zoroastrian Iran via the digitized oral testimony of over 300 interviewees. Displays of manuscripts, costumes, paintings and artefacts provide additional information about this ancient religion.

Admission will be free and open to the general public.
