Enghelab Street, named in honor of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, is located in central Tehran; it is a major thoroughfare in the city’s cultural life and is home to numerous bookstores. The publication presents a variety of photography and propaganda books compiled by Iranian artist Hannah Darabi. Drawing on works published between 1979 and 1983—a period corresponding to the brief window of freedom of expression at the end of the Shah’s regime and the beginning of Islamic rule—she takes us to the heart of an intense artistic and cultural period in Iranian history.
