Say Their Names is an art collective project to remember the Iranian people killed by the regime.
At least 678 protesters have been killed since demonstrations swept Iran in September 2022. 93 among the dead were below the age of 18.
Most of these fallen heroes, have their bodies buried late at night by the regime so their memorial does not turn into yet another protest. Their families have been under pressure to say they have died due to ‘natural causes’ or have killed themselves. Even in their death they cannot be honoured by their families.
These memorial portraits are made by artists, in the medium of their choice to ‘say their names’ and remember them.
