“This is no longer just an intellectual movement but engaging the heart of Iranian society—everyone is protesting from all backgrounds, classes, and religions and non-beliefs are protesting together,” Tehran-based artist Behrang Samadzadegan told Artnet News. He said artists are no longer showing up to their own exhibitions, to class at art schools, or to events—they are instead heading demonstrations.
“All the galleries and art institutions are closed in Tehran, most in solidarity with the protesters,” said one Tehran-based artist on condition of anonymity. “Events have been cancelled as have art classes. Everyone is at the protests.” There have been numerous protests against the regime in the wake of the 1979 Revolution, but most Iranians agree that the current demonstrations are among the largest in recent years.
