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, the book uncovers the role artists played in shaping guerrilla interventions and street occupations and in articulating distinct forms of peaceful civil disobedience. In addition, by drawing on a broad spectrum of historical and theoretical sources, this book further reveals the origins and inspirations of Iran's protest art. Finally, focusing mainly on the interconnections between the public sphere, women's bodies, and feminist viewpoints, \u003ci\u003eWomen, Art, Freedom \u003c\/i\u003eunderscores 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Karimi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 946270418X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462704183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Pamela Karimi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44919874519295,"sku":"9789462704183","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_853dd4ce-b890-484b-9ff7-8343ad823f20.jpg?v=1710359632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-art-freedom-pamela-karimi-9789462704183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
