In the mid-19th century Iran became home to a thriving contemporary art scene, with Tehran being West Asia s most active visual cultural centre.

5 minutes to read When Glenn Williams first signed up as a volunteer firefighter back in 1981 he had no idea he would still be hopping out of bed at night when the siren sounds, loving the role, 40 years later.
