A collection of translated historical sources and essays on International Women’s Day 1979 in Iran, initiated by Katayoon Barzegar, and edited by Niloufar Nematollahi, and Jose Rosales.
Spanning the breadth of both genre and printed matter, and by way of intergenerational collective practice, Monument Zero makes accessible scarce materials that remain from the International Women’s Day 1979 in Iran while simultaneously reckoning with the historical erasure of these 6-day protests. Bridging historical and contemporary perspectives, and by way of intergenerational collective practice, this book presents essays by artists and researchers, previously untranslated testimonies and letters from 1979, and unseen photographs by Sophie Keir— currently archived at the Centre Audiovisuel Simone de Beauvoir in Paris. It thus offers readers the opportunity to articulate, for themselves, possible modes of resistance
grounded in the experiences and political imaginaries of past feminist struggles against historical disfiguration.
