Description

CHANT is a digital recreation of a neon sign that will be displayed prominently in Los Angeles, in support of and amplifying the voices of Iranian human rights protestors. This project is part of the greater effort to keep this movement alive in our communities worldwide. First and foremost, this is a tool for public education, joining the demand for urgent change in Iran, using the power of art to elevate the dialogue and keep it in the public eye. The sign is meant to garner attention, sparking press coverage and encouraging continued direct action. All proceeds from this NFT will go toward the fabrication, installation, and shipping of the neon sign. The sign will ultimately be sold and 100% of proceeds will be split between three human rights charities. CHANT carries the rallying cry of the movement “WOMAN. LIFE. FREEDOM.” in the colors of the Iranian flag, distilling our anger into a demand that can and must be met. Written in English, Farsi, and the phonetic Farsi, these translations are important to diasporic Iranians whose relationship with the written language is in the phonetic form. The sun in the center of the piece carries great symbolic weight in such a pivotal moment for the future of the Iranian people, representing a universal light, a beacon of change and positive growth, and the strength of a people united in the struggle for freedom. Moreover, this symbol of a humanized sun, especially with feminine features, is ancient and prevalent throughout Iranian culture.
