WOMEN, INSTRUMENT OF LOVE

زن، سروده هستی

Therefore the idea of this project, came to my mind when I realized that discriminatory state policies banned 52 Women Musicians in Iran from performing on stage except in rare circumstances. 

Since the Revolution of 1979, restrictions have been placed on women singing. In Iran, a woman who sings solo to a mixed audience, in public or without a veil, might be subject to punishment.

The world of art has a profound role to play in building relationships based on dignity and respect. With this in mind, my aim is to showcase the beauty and talent of these women, whose voices are silenced by oppressive forces.

No man can equal the magic that a woman, can bring to a scene to life. Each woman herself is like a musical instrument, who needs to be studied, loved and appreciated.

 

Those who understand love, music, and the joy of life can never ignore the importance of the women’s role in bringing rejoicing, with its songs, dance and music into society

 

As Edwin Hubbel Chapin once wrote, "Each woman is like an instrument, waiting to be learned, loved, and finely played, to have at last her own true music made."
