This exhibition offers a choice of drawings by Kianoush Ramezani and Mana Neyestani, 2 Iranian cartoonists now in exile in Europe who covered, almost every day, the events in Iran with their drawings. This exhibition shows how "Woman, Life, Freedom" Revolution started and how this brand new movement takes place in the history of contemporary Iran. It talks about the gestures that the Iranian population seized since September 2022 and some of the personnalities who got even more popular as they supported Mahsa's revolution in public.
