On Sunday, 5/29 we will learn about the dance, culture, and geography of Balochistan! Balochistan is a region divided across SE Iran, SW Afghanistan and SW Pakistan. In this lecture you will learn about the origins of the Balochi people, their struggles as a people divided across borders with different spheres of cultural influence. We will talk about their strategic importance in current geopolitical interests as well as their traditional culture, music, dance and costume.
