The big picture:
In recent times, certain urban centers in Germany witnessed the projection of video mappings that contained offensive material directed towards the Iranian populace. This act, perceived as an insult to the Iranian people, sparked widespread condemnation and calls for a response. In a direct reaction to this provocative display in Germany, a retaliatory measure was undertaken.
What happened:
Just last night, as a form of counter-expression and defense of national pride, a video mapping was projected onto the iconic Azadi Tower in Tehran. This projection served as a visual rejoinder, directly addressing the offense caused by the German video mapping.
Go deeper:
The Azadi Tower, a symbol of Iranian heritage and identity, became the canvas for this response, transforming the architectural landmark into a medium for expressing solidarity and resilience in the face of perceived disrespect. The video mapping aimed to counteract the negativity of the initial German projection and reaffirm the dignity and cultural significance of the Iranian people.
