Description

Iranian singer, dancer, and activist Saba Zameni was once jailed in Iran for doing what many of us take for granted — expressing herself through music and movement. Now based in Canada, she has emerged as a rising voice in the global Iranian community, with a fast-growing online presence and a story that resonates with audiences around the world.

In this special episode, recorded live as part of the ‘Ideas at the Roqe Hub’ series in Toronto, Saba performs on stage and joins Jian for an extended and emotional conversation about her time in prison, her family’s support, the power of art as protest — and what freedom really means. With her mother and sister in the front row, this is one of our most moving and unforgettable recordings. (Note: interview is conducted mostly in Persian)

This episode of Roqe is brought to you with the support of Grazing Delice, Apadana Entertainment and Diora Jewels.
