September 15, 5 - 7 PM
323 West 39th St., NY 10018
Conference Room, 3rd Floor.
Commemorating the first anniversary of the "Woman, Life, Liberty" movement led by Iranian women, EFA Studios member artist Nazanin will present Kaarnamaa Magazine's Meta-Text, an artist book co-published by PEN America. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Niyoosha Ahamadikhoo, Crystal Bayat, Porochista Khakpour, and Nicky Nodjoumi. Kaveh Kowsari will share his photographs of protests in New York City in the fall of 2022, which were part of an unprecedented global response to this new Iranian revolutionary movement.
Iranian artists in the country and across the world are engaging in various actions to celebrate their historic achievement, protest against the Islamic State of Iran's crackdown on dissidents who have been courageously standing against the systemic suppression of human rights, and mourn the loss of hundreds of people who have been killed by the regime, including Jina Mahsa Amini a 22-year-old woman, who was detained for not properly wearing her hejaab and later killed in police custody on September 16, 2022.
