Traditionally, Iranian art had has adopted a very metaphorical way of expression. In visual arts and literature, artists used ambiguous language with many layers of meanings as a way of self-expression, story- telling, and social criticism. This approach has assisted Iranian artists for centuries to communicate with an indirect indication of their intentions indirectly, as a form of modesty and as a way of keeping within societal norms
WLF movement, on the other hand, has raised risen the tendency to speak the naked truth and release the repressed anger and the desire to reclaim one’s body and freedom. People (especially women) are now encouraged to embody be the figure of the freedom that they have been deprived of, despite the risk. This level of impact and aesthetics proposes a new definition of art in the current context of Iran: It might be young, impulsive, and bold, but it is the closest to the spirit of contemporary Iranian society.
Using the WLF movement as a focal point, this project aims to bring attention to this alternation in self-portrait and self-expression of Iranian woman using transitionary Iranian artistic and spatial concepts.
