Woman Life Freedom: Voices and Art from the Women's Protests in Iran
(eBook)
Description
Mahsa Jina Amini's death at the hands of Iran's Morality Police on 16 September 2022 sparked widespread protests across the country. Women took to the streets, uncovering their hair, burning headscarves and chanting 'Woman, Life, Freedom' - 'Zan Zendegi Azadi' in Persian and 'Jin Jîyan Azadî' in Kurdish - in mass demonstrations. An explosion of creative resistance followed as art and photography shared online went viral and people around the world saw what was really going on in Iran. Woman Life Freedom captures this historic moment in artwork and first-person accounts. This striking collection goes behind-the-scenes at forbidden fashion shows; registers the sound of dissent in Iran, where it has been illegal for women to sing unaccompanied in public since 1979; and walks the streets of Tehran with 'The Smarties' - Gen Z women who colour and show their hair in defiance of the authorities, despite the potentially devastating consequences. Extolling the power of art, writing and body politics - both female and queer - this collection is both a universal rallying call and a celebration of the women the regime has tried and failed to silence. This is what protest looks like.
