In the context of the exhibition Iran’s Women’s Movement: On the Archive of Sadiqe Dowlatabadi (2016) Framer Framed collaborates with the Prince Claus Fund to invite you to join two tours, at the International Institute of Social History and the Prince Claus Fund Gallery in Amsterdam.

16:00 – Tour IISH
Framer Framed organises a tour through the archive of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, in conjunction with our current exhibition Iran’s Women’s Movement: On the Archive of Sadiqe Dowlatabadi. In the exhibition, curator and artist Azadeh Fatehrad reflects on the personal archive of Sadiqe Dowlatabadi (1882-1961), one of the pioneers of the women’s movement in Iran. IISH houses Dowlatabadi’s and was acquired by professor Touraj Atabaki. In the guided tour professor Atabaki himself will discuss the specific archive and the IISH.
