Abstract(s)
This project report explores Iranian identity and representation and how they can be
intertwined with spaces of culture. It attempts to verify the possibility of authentic
representation of Iranian culture in a Western environment through the opening of a
cultural café. The project proposed, Golaab Casa Persa, is an Iranian cultural space and
teahouse in Lisbon, Portugal that sells traditional Iranian food and beverages and hosts a
full cultural program with artists and academics from Iran or the Iranian diaspora. The
report aims at enumerating the research and planning involved in order for the project to be
realized and the business opened. Through theoretical, methodological, and practical
research, the report will prove the possibility of authentic Iranian representation through a
cultural café and teahouse.
