From Concept to Realization<\/p>\n
This exhibition is part of the oral history of the women\u2019s movement research project within the framework of the Women\u2019s Movement Museum. It encompasses subjects such as women\u2019s biographies, events, associations, and creations in the artistic, literary, and social fields.<\/span><\/p>\n The chronology of the research begins in the latter part of the Qajar period and the advent of the first sparks of the struggle for freedom by Tahiri Qurratu l-\u02bfAyn, examines the Constitutional Revolution as the pivot point in the women\u2019s movement, and spans the Pahlavi era and the Islamic Revolution until the present time.<\/p>\n The research, based on feminist positionality epistemology, analyses and presents segments of the women\u2019s movement by utilizing artistic frameworks.<\/p>\n Each research project has a two-year term and its findings and outcomes will be made available to the public in digital form as well as in physical thematic exhibits.<\/p>\n The exhibition of handicraft by women inmates in Evin Prison is the first two-year project of the Women\u2019s Movement Museum. Without claiming to be a complete and comprehensive portrait, it offers a concise depiction of the struggles of the women\u2019s movement in Iran during the past decade.<\/p>\n This timeframe represents the ten years that have passed since the initial plan for the Iranian Women\u2019s Movement Museum was conceived. Ten years whose trials and tribulations hurled the founders and supporters of this project to different corners of the fluid and shifting geography of the women\u2019s movement.<\/p>\n \u00a0It seems that in the struggle with the cadence of this displacement, day after day they grew more tested and tried until today when from Evin Prison, the darkest corner of Iran\u2019s guests, to The Hague, the brightest coast on the North sea, they have expanded the bridge that connects them. The mortar of this bridge is the sunbaked bricks of the lives of women who in their fight for equality have submitted to imprisonment and entrusted their hearts to the movement\u2019s turbulent sea.<\/p>\n \n Mansoureh Shojaee<\/p>\n Translator: Sara Khalili<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This exhibition is part of the oral history of the women\u2019s movement research project within the framework of the Women\u2019s Movement Museum.
