Interview with Mr. Bahram Naseri In this special interview for Montreal Persian Voices, we sit down with Mr. Bahram Naseri, the pioneering publisher of Bazar—the first Farsi-language publication in Canada. As a trailblazer in the Persian community, Mr. Naseri represents the “Pioneers” who laid the groundwork for a vibrant cultural presence in Montreal. His work in media not only preserved language and heritage but also created a vital platform for connection and expression. This interview is part of a broader documentary project celebrating the Persian community’s journey in Montreal—one marked by resilience, innovation, and unity. Through three key lenses—Pioneers, Influentials, and Rising Stars—we explore how individuals like Mr. Naseri have helped shape a legacy that continues to grow with each generation. From the foundations built by early immigrants to the dynamic voices leading today and the bright talents emerging into tomorrow, Montreal Persian Voices is a tribute to the collective strength, spirit, and stories of a thriving community.
