Alumna Aida Shirazi (Ph.D., composition, ‘21) is participating in “Rage, Rhythm, Renaissance: Performances of/in the Ongoing Iranian Revolution,” a panel discussion, at NYU Tisch School of the Arts on Nov. 21. The event begins at 7 p.m. (ET) and will be available as a Zoom Webinar.  

The panel will discuss how Iranian youth, particularly women, are transforming everyday activities into performative manifestations of rebellion as they lead the current Iranian revolution. Using their expertise, each panelist outlines different aspects of the phenomenon, illustrating how performance has been a critical driving force in this revolt. Shirazi will discuss the role music has played in this uprising and the ephemeral sounds of the revolution.
