In Search of Lost Causes: Images of the Iranian Revolution-Paradox, Propaganda, and Persuasion, Exhibition and Book Signing: October/Nov. 2013

These posters demonstrate the early variety of political perspectives that led to Iranian Revolution of 1977-1979, while they also reveal how militant Islamism took over all its rival ideologies in both political and pictorial terms. Militant Islamism, Third World Socialism, and anticolonial nationalism-namely the three most dominant aspects of Iranian political culture of the Twentieth century-are all evident in these posters. While at the same time we have a good number of posters that reveal the feminist dimension of that political culture. All these ideologies share a powerful anti-imperialism factor, which makes the presence of quite a number of posters celebrating the Iranian Communist (Tudeh) Party even more significant. -Hamid Dabashi, PhD
