On this week’s Weekend Passport, global citizen Nari Safavi is helping Worldview plan an international winter in Chicago.

The Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago has a whole lineup of events and exhibits through the end of March that feature, art, culture and history from all across the Middle East, including an Egyptian Film Festival.
