Introduction

Regardless of the date the Owj Organization was established and who its founders were, and simply knowing its identity card specifications, it might be better and more important to first introduce and review the nature and identity of this collection.

If we consider the modest and simple courtyard of this artistic and specialized collection as an unpretentious and high-output tent for the people of the neighborhood of Islamic Revolution culture and art, the four pillars upon which this tent rests are actually the main arms of its survival and standing, and a main pillar located in the middle of this tent. Now one can understand that the productions and works published from the orbit of this organization’s centrifuges as the final product have sprung from the heart of these five pillars.

First pillar or column for the guys gathered under this roof is “purity”. There is much talk about sincerity, but it is clear that any activity minus sincerity and the right intention and for other than divine satisfaction is doomed to destruction and demise, not survival and salvation!

Second pillar is “experience”. Naturally, had it not been for the transfer and utilization of the accumulated timely experiences of white-bearded and experienced masters of the art and media arena of the Islamic Revolution, the volume of losses and “failures” would have been much more apparent.

Third pillar and main column is “planning”. Without precise planning and formulating short and long-term goals and strategies, we certainly will not reach the desired destination. Therefore, before engaging in any type of operation in the implementation field, planning and preparing relevant addendums and documents is the most obvious action expected from a specialized collection.

Fourth column is “real youth-centrism”. Not in the form of hollow, hackneyed, and thousands of times manipulated slogans of some officials during election campaigns! This claim is attested by the average age range of the human resources present in the collection. That trained and young workforce who, with vitality, dynamism, faith, and risk-taking, is considered the greatest asset and achievement of the Owj Arts and Media Organization.

And as for the main pillar located in the middle of these four columns and the main mast of the Owj tent, of course, it is indeed the helmsman and captain of the storm-tossed ship of the Islamic Revolution. A firm pillar that, frankly, if it were not for it, the imagination of destruction and swallowing of all material and spiritual assets of this divine water and soil by hungry and lurking wolves — just as happened to our neighboring countries and nations — would not have been far-fetched. We thank God for the existence of this great blessing and consider ourselves obedient soldiers of Article 110 of the Constitution, namely His Eminence the Supreme Leader and Deputy of the Imam.

Now in short and briefly: After two decades of gaining experience and studying the fate of official and unofficial cultural institutions, and parallel to these studies, carrying out fruitful actions, and cultural and artistic impact and effectiveness, finally from 2009 to 2011 was spent on planning and design, identification and organization, and officially since the spring of 2011, the “Owj Arts and Media Organization” with its current structure and composition—which is still evolving, synergizing, updating, and undergoing internal transformation after stabilization—has been launched and born.

The main mission of the Owj Organization in a nutshell is:

– Strategic policymaking in the field of artistic productions of the Islamic Revolution discourse

– Identification and empowerment of institutions or young and spontaneous talents

– Organization and ultimately ordering the production of professional products

– Distribution

– Supervision and evaluation of the above activities
