Nesa Azadikhah and AIDA, the Iranian artists behind a new charity compilation raising funds and awareness for the ongoing women-led uprising in Iran, stitch together a mix bound not by genre, but by mood and feeling.
“We chose to create this mix as a multi-genre mix ranging from ambient and experimental to jazz, rock, and electronic in order to showcase the range of talent that exists within this community of artists,” explain the pair, who selected an image from photographer Hengameh Golestan captured during a protest against the Hijab law in Tehran, in 1979, to accompany their set.
“Although it ranges multiple genres, we find in it a cohesion that comes from the years of determined rebellion from Iranian women against the otherwise patriarchal government and the society they have created in the last 44 years.“
