These Chronicles focus on religious fever, separation based on gender and the pressure exerted by the mullahs’ regime in the public space. In 1979, the revolution in Iran established an Islamic republic, a political and religious regime strictly ruling over society. The regime of the mullahs imposes the wearing of the veil on women, thus creating a gender division in public space. On the beaches of the Caspian or the Persian Gulf, and along the Dez river, the contrast is striking: men bathe and bask in the sun while women timidly go into the water, fully dressed… During religious celebrations such as Ashura, the great Shi’ite celebration, in the holy cities of Qom and Mashad, this division is even more pronounced : the faithful men stand on one side, the faithful women on another, under the watchful eye of the Guardians of the Revolution who ensure that devotion is expressed appropriately, prohibiting any contact between men and women
