In an interview series, VOGUE Germany presents eight women from the German culture, media and fashion industries. What they have in common is their Persian heritage and their solidarity with the people of Iran. In the interviews, they find words to express their wishes concerning the future of the country. To accompany the printed article, TANJA HÄRING produced these touching films as Director/DOP.
“It is a very special project that is close to my heart, and it has been an incredibly impressive experience to meet these women and convey their message in images,” Tanja tells GoSee.
For months, we have been witnessing how people in Iran, who are protesting against the oppression of women by the regime and for their freedom, are being arrested by the dozen and how the terror regime does not even hesitate to issue death sentences. But amid all the sorrow and anger, there is still a feeling of transition and a cautious optimism in the Iranian community.
“What makes this current women’s rights movement so special is that it is supported by large parts of the population – across all genders, ethnicities, age groups and social classes.” says gallery proprietor Anahita Sadighi in the VOGUE Feature.
