After the revolution in Iran in 2022, Aménéh, as a woman, artist and Iranian, quickly felt obliged to react against the brutality of the mullah regime and the rigorous laws of radical Islam. After several demonstrations and protests, Aménéh set up a page on Facebook where artists from all over the world could publish their posters in the form of a collective under the address ‘Posters for Iran’ with the theme ‘Women, Life, Freedom’. To date, she has received more than 300 posters from all over the world (40 countries) from more than 150 female artists.
