Artist Soheila Sokhanvari honours the untold stories of Iran’s feminist icons

Alongside them, artists are putting their skills to work to amplify their voices. Iranian artist Soheila Sokhanvari’s exhibition “Rebel Rebel” at London's Barbican celebrates and commemorates feminist icons from pre-revolutionary Iran. She speaks to Eve Jackson about the battle for women's rights and an end to the regime. Also on the programme we see high profile women, such as Juliette Binoche and Marion Cotillard, cutting locks of hair in solidarity with Iran and we hear from Iranian painter Homa Arkani who told us why artists are such a threat to the regime.
