This book, rather than merely analyzing the artworks that garnered attention on social media platforms, brings to light lesser-known grassroots artistic movements that played a crucial role within their immediate local communities. Engaging with primarily Iran-based artists, it uncovers their role in shaping guerrilla interventions and street occupations and in articulating distinct forms of peaceful civil disobedience. By drawing on a broad spectrum of historical and theoretical sources, this book further reveals the origins and inspirations of Iran's protest art. Focusing mainly on the interconnections between the public sphere, women's bodies, and feminist viewpoints, \u003ci\u003eWomen, Art, Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e underscores the vital role of artists in championing global justice and equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be made open access within three years of publication thanks to Path to Open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePamela Karimi is a professor of history of art and architecture at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Massachusetts USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457036107954,"sku":"9789462704183","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/f853c5471202ffed853d1c1c466b473d.webp?v=1778875589","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/women-art-freedom-artists-and-street-politics-in-iran-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
