Inside Iran’s secret rave scene
Female DJs spin the soundtrack of resistance.
Mixed-sex raves are illegal in Iran. Partygoers risk fines, prison or lashes from the morality police. But that doesn’t stop invite-only, clandestine clubs from thriving. Now more and more Iranian female DJs are joining the illegal dance floors of Iran and some are even touring the world. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Faranak Amidi tells Katya about a new generation of culture warriors.
