  8. Music and the Revolution • During the revolution music was prohibited because of the ‘haram’. • When this happened the musicians responded by creating music that was inspired by the traditional music, the political and social energy, and the revolution mentality. • Directly after the revolution pop music was banned.

  9. Production of Music • Music in Iran must be approved by the Ministry of Culture which combs through lyrics and instrumentations. • Classic Persian music and pop have flourished under the restrictions but rock and hip hop have to stay mostly underground • Women are not allowed to sing in public but by singing an asynchronous duet women are able to sing in front of the masses.

  10. Iranian Music Artists • Shajarian sings traditional Iranian music • Arash, Mansour and Manroosh are all pop artists in Iran and some of them use traditional Iranian music techniques to embellish their songs • Moein is a popular artist in the adult contemporary genre.

Iranian Women Fashion • Modern day women can dress however they want, but they still have to abide by the traditional clothing requirementssuch as covering their hair, necks, and arms • Most women wear a manteau (overcoat) which covers the body • It is legal to wear something more revealing underneath their manteau

Fashion Within • If you are a woman and want to enter a holy place in Iran you will have to wear a chador. • A chador is a long dress that is designed to cover every part of the female form except the face. • If you are a man and you wish to enter a holy place it is better for you to have long sleeves but it is not mandatory.

  16. Disney Graffiti • These pictures shows Cinderella holding a knife and snow white is holding a gun. I think they are trying to represent the two country’s fighting. These princesses are mostly popular in America. When we take a look at Disney princesses we think about peace, nice and gentle but in this picture we see Disney princesses holding guns and knife. This picture could also represent how America looks very peaceful and nice but it could all be fake.

Carpet • Carpets are Iran's most important export item after oil, and their creation is an art of the highest order. • The finest take years to complete and have hundreds of knots per square inch. • Older carpets are worth more than new carpets.
