EXCERPT
In preparation for this event, I had the pleasure of designing art for the social media posts and banner, (and a poster design for Feminists for Jina Seattle) with Parmida Ziaei of Feminists for Jina Seattle. I drew up the various figures represented in the image, and she incorporated her graphic design skills for all of the text and finishing touches. Parmida is a Scenic Designer, Performer and Choreographer. You can see and support more of Parmida’s work on Instagram at @parmidaziaei.
Feminists for Jina came about as a network of Iranian Feminists all over the United States and Europe who self-organized after the tragic murder of the Kurdish woman Jîna Emînî (Mahsa Amini), a Kurdish woman, by Iran’s “morality police”. Jîna’s death after her arrest and beating for the claim of her “improper” hijab wearing was a catalyst in the Women, Life, Freedom movement and ongoing revolution in Iran. ژن، ژیان، ئازادی, (woman, life, freedom,) derives from the popular Kurdish slogan Jin, Jiyan, Azadî used to promote Kurdish independence.
