Iran, 1999: When my Art Stood Against Torture and Ex*****on

My second solo exhibition was in 1999, when I was around 19 years old. The title was Incubus of Jen, and I used Johanna. It was an installation and conceptual art project—one of the earliest examples of conceptual art in Iranian art history. At the time, even many art professors in Iran did not understand what conceptual art meant.

Three years later, the Iran Contemporary Art Museum organized its first group exhibition of contemporary art. I was invited, but I chose instead to work as an art advisor for another artist, and that story will be published later. I did not accept the invitation from the Iranian art museum because of my political position: I rejected the Islamic regime.

I never saw another artist in the Middle East with the same balls I had at that age. Today, as an Iranian-American artist in New York City, I look at the old parasites around the world who still couldn't have done what I did when I was 19.

The artistic statement of my exhibition was based on Jung's concept of archetypes, combined with my political statement that Iran was hell. I always tried to reveal the face of the demons I believed were ruling that society. For me, the work became a kind of demonology—a visual language for exposing fear, repression, and power.

At that time, many of the most famous Iranian artists were, in my view, too close to the Islamic regime. The regime did everything it could to erase me from the Iranian art scene. Years later, they took me as a political prisoner to Evin Prison in Iran, and in many ways they succeeded in erasing my name from that society. One of the most powerful figures under whose rule I was tortured is now dead. In my own artistic language, he became the ultimate “Ayatollah Demon”—the embodiment of the system I had been trying to expose since I was 19.

But those bastards couldn't erase me.

I'm still here.

Attack Makes Us Stronger — 9/11
Twenty-five years after 9/11, I still ask one question: how can terrorism become so close to us while we refuse to see it?
For me, terrorism is not only about bombs or organized cells. It can also be psychological. An idea can enter a person's mind, relationships, communities, and institutions long before it becomes an act.
This is where Lacan interests me: the unconscious, identity, resentment, desire, and the need to belong. Sometimes the most important question is not Where is the terrorist? but how does the idea of terrorism take possession of someone's mind?
I remember an American citizen I met in Turkey who had converted to Islam after an encounter with a Pakistani man and had become hostile toward her radical American family. I helped return her to the United

States and tried to show her why individual freedom matters and how political religious extremism can threaten it.
I also want to write openly about Si s**t and Sen Lin, puls Sydney Lies and about what I personally witnessed and the questions their behavior raised for me. I have also questioned whether institutions responsible for security sometimes ignore warning signs.
I have spoken with the NYPD about some of these concerns. But I do not want to confuse a conversation with the police with proof of criminal conduct. My book will distinguish between what I personally saw, what I was told, what I believe, and what can actually be proven.
That distinction makes the book stronger, not weaker.
I am not attacking Muslims, Jews, Christians, or any other people as a group. My concern is extremism—religious or political—that demands obedience and places ideology above human freedom.
Mental illness is not terrorism. Autism is not terrorism. Religion or nationality is not terrorism.
Actions and evidence matter.
Twenty-five years after 9/11, the free world should not respond with paranoia. We should respond with intelligence, courage, and awareness.
We should ask uncomfortable questions.
We should investigate credible warnings.
And we should never allow fear to destroy the freedom we are trying to protect.
Attack makes us stronger

Writing about September 11 is never easy for me because this is not simply a historical date or a political subject. There is something…

I made first documentary about the war in Ukraine, and the people who truly supported my idea were women—Monnel, Fadia, Kinda—and brave Ukrainians inside Ukraine who stood up when many others were afraid.

The person who stood most firmly beside me was Monnel, one of the bravest American women I have ever known. I will never forget that. The Ukrainians I met and worked with showed extraordinary courage, especially compared with those around me who chose indifference, cowardice, or support for Putin.

At the same time, a woman from eastern Ukraine who supported Putin attacked me because of our political disagreement. Later, some people chose her side and preferred to close their eyes to what happened.

But I never changed my position. Russia was our enemy, is our enemy, and will remain our enemy.

I do not regret losing people who supported Putin. Their choices became clear, just as the position of my film is clear.

My film means more to me than the lies, attacks, and attempts to silence what I was trying to document. I made it because I believed the truth needed to be recorded—even when very few people were willing to stand beside me.

Looking for Rumi ! Rumi
I made a short documentary film about Rumi. I spent 30 years studying Rumi. My grandmother’s memories were filled with Rumi and Hafez’s poetry.
It is tragic when we realize how an idiot British Freemason made wrong translations of Rumi, and, even worse, made nonsensical analyses of Rumi.
When I went to Rumi’s grave in Konya, Turkey, it was a hard tragedy for me. Turks identify him as Turkish. Such thieves. Worst of all, they identify him as a Muslim. Rumi escaped from Islamic people and moved to the Ottoman Empire to be closer to Rome. His nickname is clear: he had nothing to do with Turks and Muslims.
He never wrote in Turkey. He was the result of Persian genocide, and we do not accept the Islamic story.
My research over the last 30 years has shown me that none of the great Persian writers of the last 1,000 years accepted Islam. None. So many were killed, and Persian writers wrote with their blood.
I am proud to speak Farsi, and I am proud of Persian writers.
Also, that idiot from Afghanistan who called Rumi a person from their land is another joke. That part of Afghanistan was part of Persia, just as Tajikistan was.
The Farsi language has roots in European languages. It is one of the oldest languages, and any idiot who reads 10 pages can understand that Farsi has nothing to do with Arabic, Turkish, or Hindu languages. But because Iran was kidnapped by Islam, its voice was erased, changed, and transformed.
It is like calling Shakespeare an American Jew because Jews in the USA now speak English.
Persian literature is older than the stories of Abraham and Moses.
I believe the Germans were honest and understood this, but all research by the British and Americans on Rumi is wrong. I will publish my translation and show the real Rumi—not the ugly face that has been created for him.
I also need to mention a pr******te who called me dangerous because I speak Farsi. I agree: Farsi can be dangerous for pr******tes like her
