Interview with Mahboubeh Kalaei, a Former Kanoon Member of Qom Center and Animator

I Experienced the World with Kanoon Books

She wrote for us: I am the youngest girl of the family. At that time, all my sisters were Kanoon members and they were really active. One of them had shined in calligraphy, the other in theater and the other one in declaiming poetry.

Ali Khosh Jam: Kanoon Coach

A Shape of Love on the Wall of Kindness

The first time I saw some images of his works in one of the social networks. Children were painting on the wall with enthusiasm and their coach was guiding them. When I was reviewing the images of this beautiful activity, I remembered summer, the season that can be the best time for the type of cultural and art activity in which children can participate. We made it the excuse to have an interview with Ali Khosh Jam; the one who has studied painting at vocational school and got BA in the same field from Faculty of Fine Arts, Tehran University.

Mohammad Naseri Fard, Archeologist, and a Kanoon Old-Timer

Reading a Borrowed Book under the Moonlight

At the time when a pomegranate tree stick was the language of education, Kanoon instructor takes the kid’s cold and icy hands in her kind hands and sits him on the chair next to the heater. Without the kid’s name being registered as a member. The coach first selects the page titled “Kindness” form the book of “Love and Cognition” and then with a smile asks the child why he is there in the library. The coach’s kind treatment has settled in Mohammad Naseri Fard’s soul and spirit in a way that after more than 50 years this Iranian archeologist, university professor, author, translator, and researcher still remembers Mrs. Effat Mashayekhi with utmost respect.
