Marjane Satrapi – the acclaimed French-Iranian graphic novelist and author of Persepolis – is to be awarded the prestigious Princesa de Asturias Award for communication and humanities. Her work is a profound meditation on culture, religion, patriarchy, diaspora, revolution, war and exile, and will be honoured in a concert featuring pianist María Cueva and a programme of works that will include my piece for piano and electronics Black Dog.
