Milan Triennale and MAXXI united for Iran

Triennale Milan launches aninitiative of peaceful protest against the murders and violence that are affecting young women and men in Iran, taking up a request from some members of the Iranian community in Milan. Triennale invites people to leave in the entrance lobby of the Palazzo dell’Arte, inside a special container, a small lock of their own hair, tied with a string. An act inspired by that bravely performed by Iranian women in the squares of major cities. The collected locks will be delivered to the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a peaceful gesture of protest against murderous violence and solidarity with those who risk their lives to defend the inalienable right to individual freedom.

MAXXI in Rome is also joining the initiative.

"With MAXXI - Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo we join Triennale Milano in a peaceful demonstration of protest against the murders and unacceptable violence that is affecting young women and men in Iran," Giovanna Melandri, President of the MAXXI Foundation, said on social media. "During museum opening hours, it will also be possible at MAXXI to leave a lock of your own hair, tied with a string, in a special container in the lobby, at the Info Point. The collected locks will then be delivered to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in protest.
The demonstrations of dissent against the Islamic Republic’s liberticidal rules are still growing, and the courage of so many Iranian women is moving and generous. We cannot remain indifferent. The protest of Iranian women is also ours. A small, highly symbolic gesture, in the name of Mahsa Amini and Hadis Najafi, alongside all women whose freedom is being trampled on in Iran. I appeal to our entire audience and to you friends and friends on social media. Let us hear the outrage and horror for the young martyrs and dozens of victims these days, our solidarity with the extraordinary ongoing struggle to defend inalienable human rights."
