“Enghelab Street, or Revolution Street, is located in the centre of Tehran—a main artery in the city’s cultural life with a host of bookshops. Enghelab Street: A Revolution through Books: Iran 1979–1983 presents a variety of photographic and propaganda books collected by Iranian artist Hannah Darabi. Drawing on works published between 1979 and 1983—years corresponding to the short period when freedom of speech prevailed at the end of the Shah’s regime and the beginning of the Islamic government—she takes us to the heart of an intense artistic and cultural period in Iranian history.
