Simorgh has been awarded funding from the Cultural Leadership Programme's - Meeting the Challenge

In The Conference of the Birds, a 12^th Century epic poem from Persia, the Simorgh is the much sought after and idealised leader. In this allegory, a group of birds embark on a quest to find the Simorgh. After a long and dangerous journey the group discovers the truth about leadership: that it comes from within themselves and is shared.
