Dahr دَهر

She walked the city, with the sound of mothers, singing her lullabies. 

Following her fascination with juxtaposition of presenter and receptor, Anahita fashioned her own earrings made of small broadband glass speakers. While hiding the technical parts of the constellation in a backpack, she walks around the city center in Darmstadt. Out of her earrings, comes out the voice of Iranian mothers, inside and outside of Iran, singing lullabies in their dialects as if trying to sooth her. This performance happened after the brutal murder of an Iranian wrestler “Navid Afkari” by the Islamic regime. In Iranian culture it is traditional for mothers to sing lullabies in the funeral of a child.
