Activists unfurled red banners in SFMOMA's atrium to urge the art world to support Iran's women-led protests:
The nation’s unpopular mandatory hijab law has been under fire since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on September 16, after her arrest at the hands of Tehran “morality police” for wearing her headscarf improperly. Eyewitnesses claim Amini was the victim of police brutality.
The banners were identical to those unfurled at the Guggenheim last month, but the two protests are said to have been staged by different groups. “This project is inspired by a similar effort that was made a few weeks ago by another anonymous collective of artists in the Guggenheim,” the group behind the SFMOMA action wrote in an email to Artnet News.
