The advisor of the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts for Family and Women's Affairs, while visiting the third national Iranian vest event in Shiraz, emphasized the need to pay attention to traditional arts, preserve national identity and use the capacity of native clothing in everyday life.

According to the report of Aria Heritage reporter, Atefeh Maravi visited the third national Iranian vest event and the third needlework workshop of regions and ethnic groups of Fars province on Monday, October 20, 1405, which was held in Shiraz art market, and considered this event as an opportunity to introduce the various manifestations of Iranian art, culture and civilization.

The Advisor to the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts in Family and Women's Affairs, congratulating the countrymen on the tourism week, described being in Shiraz, the land of art, politeness and virtue as a valuable opportunity and said: "Iranian vest exhibition is a platform for the gathering of arts, colors and cultural manifestations of different ethnic groups of Iran." Capacities that together provide an image of the country's diversity and cultural richness.

Referring to the link between cultural heritage, tourism and handicrafts, Maravi said: Each of these areas is an opportunity to introduce the historical identity and Iranian civilization. A nation that does not know its history cannot have a correct view of the future.

Expressing concern about part of the new generation's distance from the national identity and traditional arts, he considered the expansion of virtual space and the neglect of native designs and arts as factors that highlight the need to pay attention to the country's artistic heritage again.

The adviser to the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts on Women and Family Affairs expressed the hope that holding such events will provide the young generation with more familiarity with Iran's cultural assets and increase public awareness of the value of authentic arts and the need to preserve them.

In describing the vests displayed in this event, Maravi mentioned Iranian art as an irreplaceable and unrepeatable art and emphasized the need to recognize and support the best works.

He also pointed out the beauty of Iranian vests and pointed out: the use of these arts in everyday clothing can help to increase social vitality in addition to strengthening cultural identity.

The third national Iranian vest event with the slogan of Iranian glory will be held from 20 to 24 October, every day from 10:00 to 20:00 in the art market of Shiraz. Simultaneously with this event, the third needlework workshop of the regions and tribes of Fars province was also held with the aim of introducing and preserving authentic and native arts.
