The Sié Center and their second-year Sié Fellow, Sheida Sam, moderates a conversation with Professor Pamela Karimi. Dr. Karimi's recently published book, "Women, Art, Freedom: Artists and Street Politics in Iran," offers an insightful look at the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising in Iran, sparked by the tragic murder of Jina Mahsa Amini at the hands of the “morality police” for violating hijab rules.
Beyond its feminist undertones and the remarkable courage of the young protesters, what sets this uprising apart from previous ones is the abundant and diverse art it has inspired. Rather than merely analyzing the artworks that garnered attention on social media platforms, this book brings to light lesser-known grassroots artistic movements that played a crucial role within their immediate local communities. Engaging with primarily Iran-based artists uncovers their role in shaping guerrilla interventions and street occupations and articulating distinct forms of peaceful civil disobedience.
