performance, about 15-20 minutes

Hashtag We, In, Out, Iran is a multidisciplinary work in which I symbolize my suffering in the face of the governmental barbarity towards Iranians who have risen up to end the totalitarian and religious regime of Iran, since September 16, 2022 with the death of Mahsa Amini, following her brutal arrest by the morality police for not wearing the veil properly. Today, these uprisings, recognized as a real revolution, have become famous by the slogan “woman, life, freedom”.Since any form of journalism in Iran is oppressed, it is by taking pictures that citizens bear witness to what is happening for the whole world to see. In this situation, social networks play a crucial role in spreading the voice of these citizens who share photographs and videos under hashtags such as “no to the Islamic Republic in Iran” (#notorepublicislamiciniran).
During the performance, dressed in bloody medical bandages, my whole being, my whole body as if caught in a trance, reacts to these real images of the demonstrations projected on me by externalizing this pain through expressive and brutal gestures.
