National Participation - Iran (Islamic Republic of)
 

The Pavilion of the Islamic Republic of Iran is also under accusation in these hours. The movements Woman Life Freedom Europe and Woman Life Freedom Italy launched the appeal. Of One Essence is the Human Race is the title of the project, curated by Shoaib Hosseini Moghaddam , with the works of the artists Fatemeh Ghafourian, Zeinab Ashoori Dahanehsari, M. Saber Sheykh Rezaei, Rasool Rabiei Dehnavi, Hossein Mohseni , which will be on display at the Palazzo Malipiero.

The title is taken from a verse of a poem by the poet Abu Mohammad Mosleh ebn Abdollāh , known as Saʿdi , who lived in the 13th century, and represents a hymn to the unity of mankind, regardless of social barriers and labels. A universal principle which, however, for the Woman Life Freedom movements - a Kurdish slogan that arose during the protests following the death of Mahsa Amini , arrested in Tehran for opposing the hijab and died in suspicious circumstances on 16 September 2022, after three days in a coma – it would only be superficial.
