The “Iran Rising” exhibit at GeorgeMasonU tells “the story of an entire nation’s hope, resilience, unity, and courage in the face of an evil regime that has stolen their country but will not be allowed to steal their dreams.”
“In a court of law in Iran,” he continued, “it takes two female witnesses to equal the testimony of one male witness. … When the father passes away, the son receives statutorily twice the amount of inheritance that his sister receives because he’s worth twice that of his sister” in the eyes of the law.
Abadian, who came to the U.S. from Iran when she was 5 years old, said,” We had a culture [in Iran] that was pre-Islamic” “that honored women’s life and freedom. So for me, the slogan is really about Iran reclaiming itself, and the battle in Iran right now from my perspective is millennia old. It’s a battle of the people trying to rebalance its value of women.”“Before… traditional, ancient Iranian culture always held women in high esteem,” Abadian said.
As Iran eventually renews itself, said Abadian, her hope is that “we do it in a way that reduces the trauma footprint, and part of that is bringing women into primary roles because,” which has been demonstrated to be among “the most successful forms of resistance.”
