Women Life Freedom
Highlighting issues of democracy and human rights is an important part of Moderna Museet’s activities. Therefore, we support the people of Iran who are fighting against the regime’s oppression and strongly condemn the actions and abuses of the Iranian authorities.
On Wednesday, November 23 we broadcasted live on Instagram from Azadeh Fatehrad’s studio in London. Fatehrad is an artist and curator who has studied Iran’s feminist history. In 2019, she published the book “The Politics and Poetics of the Veil in Iran”.
Watch and listen as she talks about how the veil (hijab) has followed the political changes in Iran. Once banned, the veil became a mandatory part of women’s attire after the revolution in 1979.
