The latest target of Iran’s compulsory hijab law: a statue recently installed on a street in Gorgan, in the northeast of the country. On March 25, city officials removed the sculpture because of a woman whose veil and dress was deemed inappropriate.
The sculpture was entitled “Together Alone” and was put up in Gorgan, a city in the northeast of Iran this year. The piece depicted members of a family sitting together on a bench, but each of them is staring down at a cell phone. The goal of the installation was to draw into question the role of social media and smartphones at home.
