Behind the “veil of daily newspapers,” there are real faces of women—as revealed in the exhibition “My Iran: Six Women Photographers” at the Sackler Gallery. The photographs of their persistence in facing personal and political realities offer a female perspective over 40 years from the beginning of the Iranian Revolution to the present.
In the series “Witness,” Hengameh Golestan is one of the few photographers to document the protests in 1979 Islamic Revolution when women were ordered to wear the chador or veil in public. She is part of the crowd, not an outside onlooker as she shares their short-lived optimism in the early months of the revolution.Purchase—Jahangir and Eleanor Amuzegar Endowment for Contemporary Iranian Art.
