Woman Life Freedom @ Art Basel Miami
In November, genEquality Executive Director Sherry Hakimi brought together a group of nine Iranian diaspora women with the goal of creating participatory, community-driven art activation during Art Base Miami in December.
The group convened for a two-hour mural design brainstorming session, in which each brought inspirational elements — photos, videos, patterns, colors — to share, and thus the design seeds of the mural were planted. Based on this session and subsequent conversations, artist Mona Dash sketched out a rough design for the mural. The mural wall, which is ~100 feet long and 18 feet high, is located in the heart of Miami’s arts district, Wynwood.
The building’s architecture lent itself to a three-section design; each section signifies a different aspect of the Iranian movement for freedom, with Iranian cultural elements interwoven throughout.

Support Woman Life Freedom
Help us fund the creation of murals and art actuations worldwide. Art is a powerful universal language, able to amplify the voices of the silenced. The more we can raise, the more we can do to amplify their voices.
Every mural and art activation will be led by a local artist, with input and contribution from the local community, standing in solidarity with the feminist, female-led movement in Iran.
Your support will make it possible for these murals, which come from the heads, hearts, and hands of fellow Iranians and allies, to come to life. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause. It means so much to Iranians everywhere, but especially to Iranians in Iran.
