Keyvan Shovir, Clarion Alley, 2022
#Mahsa_Amini by Keyvan Shovir is part of the Woman! Life! Freedom! revolution led by the women of Iran.
On November 12, 2022, Clarion Alley Mural Project (CAMP) in collaboration with CCA Center for Art and Public Life, ARTogether, and Diaspora Arts Connection presented Women! Life! Freedom! The Wind in My Hair, showcasing art performances, music, murals, and poetry by Iranian artists and allies in the Bay Area and beyond, standing in solidarity with Iranian women and to call for the end of oppression by the state of Iran.
