We are approaching the first anniversary of the "Woman, Life, Liberty" movement led by Iranian women, who have resolutely said "no" to patriarchal and religious control over their bodies.

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.

EFA Studio Member artist Nazanin Noroozi will present Kaarnamaa Magazine's Meta-Text, an artist book about "Woman, Life, Liberty," and moderate a panel discussion with Niyoosha Ahamadikhoo, Crystal Bayat, Porochista Khakpour, and Nicky Nodjoumi about "Woman, Life, Liberty" and Iranian and Afghan art and culture. Kaveh Kowsari will show and tell us about his photographs of protests in New York City in the fall of 2022, which was part of an unprecedented global response to this new Iranian revolutionary movement.
