Fridays with Attar: The 30 Birds

 

This Friday, 13 May 2022, CEO and co-founder Shima Beigi takes another deep dive into the mystical world of Farid Ud-Din Attar (c. 1145 – c. 1220 CE) and, more specifically, The Conference of the Birds”. We expand on the story's structure, Attar’s masterful choice of using birds as a symbol of different states of human consciousness, and the universality and relevance of this ancient story for today’s and tomorrow’s Smart Cities.
