“He has built a house for himself. As he was falling asleep, he said: “Don’t destroy my house, okay? This is my home forever.” My heart sank! I thought to myself: I hope our house doesn’t get destroyed too. I hope Iran stays our home forever.”. #StopTheWar.
@Vaghefiiman واسه خودش خونه ساخته. داشت میخوابید گفت: خونمو خراب نکنید ها، اینجا تا همیشه خونه منه. دلم هُری ریخت پایین. پیش خودم گفتم: کاش خونه ما هم خراب نشه کاش ایران تا همیشه خونمون باشه.

This was indeed a great workshop, with a diverse group of scholars from South and North! We reflected on “the making” of our sound piece 'woman life freedom: the sounds of a revolution'. #GenderInCrisis.
Such a great initiative that is Gender Urban Research Collective. A pleasure to be part of their 2024 'Gender in Crisis Workshop' at Universiteit Utrecht, reflecting on the digital space & feminist politics in Iran through archival methodologies of sound. @MahsaAlami

At @GoldsmithsUoL I learned people matter when thinking ab the city & private public spaces. That without hearing people’s voice, the city becomes a closed system driven by the politics of centralised control (like Gold’s SMT) that prescribes how people should live! #Notadonedeal.
📣Good morning: .Deptford Town Hall’s Council Chamber is NOW OCCUPIED because SMT refuse to stop the unnecessary cull of jobs as part of a move to destroy the arts and humanities. Listen to this @GoldsmithsUoL student's call for direct action and solidarity! .Please share ✊⤵️

A snapshot of the violence “that the Islamic Republic inflicts on all those who oppose its fascist rule. It should be read by all those Eurocentric leftists who invoke the false dichotomy of US (imperialism) vs. Iran (anti-imperialism) in their selective solidarities.”.
This @BBCWorld's horrendous account of #NikaShakarami's murder by #IRGC-affiliated undercover agents who arrested her during #woman_life_freedom protests, beat her up, molested her and when she fought back crushed her skull by batons, is a snapshot of a boundless panorama of
