National Anthem
Sheida Soleimani

Through the past century of Iranian political history, the national anthem of the country has been changed 3 times: each time suiting the oppressive regimes that have come into power.

In my photographs, cultural signifiers are used to create collisions in regards to my position of viewing the Middle East from an outside lens. By focusing on the dissemination of societal occurrences, I source images from media leaks and adapt them to exist within new spaces. Each piece addresses an event in Iranian history, while alluding to how both the East and West have responded to societal occurrences. (SS)
