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.Slide9

Music in Iran must be approved by the Ministry of Culture which combs through lyrics and instrumentations.

Disney Graffiti
These pictures shows Cinderella holding a knife and s
now 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.Slide17
Carpet
Carpets are Iran's most important export item after oil, and their creation is an art of the highest order.
