With various expressions, the artists Atoosa Farahmand and Oscar Hagberg examine the conditions of women in Iran. In theIranian Revolution of 1979, women’s path to liberation and participation in society was brutally severed - a path which had been gradually opening over the preceding decades. Not only was democracy closed to women, it is now also forbidden for women to ride bicycles and motorcycles, to sing, and to watch football matches in a stadium. This artworks makes it clear that women’s power, will and humour cannot be stifled. We see women and girls who defy and fight. They fill their lives with protests in a constant struggle for equality and democracy.
