A large-scale projection in support of the women-led Iranian civil rights movement illuminates the museum's façade with 30 powerful artworks.
ArtRise Collective, in collaboration with Mozaik Philanthropy, presents Woman Life Freedom, a public art projection featuring 30 artworks by anonymous international artists. Projected onto the façade of the Asian Art Museum, these works respond to the systemic gender inequality and discrimination that cuts across class, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, and generations in Iran.
Since September 2022, women have been leading a peaceful civil rights protest movement in both large urban centers and small rural villages across Iran, garnering the support of global diaspora populations. The movement's slogan, "Woman, Life, Freedom," chanted at the funeral of Jina Mahsa Amini in the province of Kurdistan, is drawn from the Kurdish women's freedom movement. As a gesture of solidarity, artists in the exhibition have created artworks reflecting the movement's central, intersectional message: that a struggle for women's right to self-determination affirms human dignity.
