Artists around the world are invited to participate in an international protest art exhibition dedicated to the voices of the Iranian people. (Calls for Entry 2026)

Voices of Iran is a global art initiative created to bring together powerful visual expressions responding to recent events in Iran and the ongoing movement for freedom, dignity, and identity. Artists have always played a vital role in documenting history, raising awareness, and amplifying the voices of people who demand change. This exhibition aims to collect those artistic voices in one powerful platform.

We invite graphic designers, illustrators, painters, cartoonists, and visual artists from across the globe to submit their protest artworks inspired by the spirit of resistance, courage, and hope.

From all submitted works, 50 selected pieces will be chosen and featured in the Voices of Iran exhibition in the United States. The selected artworks will become part of a curated collection that documents this important historical moment through art.

This project is more than an exhibition. It is an archive of artistic resistance and a global platform where visual storytellers express solidarity with the Iranian people.

Alongside the exhibition, we are launching a global creative action called Wall of Voices. Artists are encouraged to print their artwork and place it in public spaces in their cities, photograph it, and share it online. From Los Angeles to Berlin, Toronto to London, the goal is to create a worldwide visual wave of protest art.

Organizer:

This initiative is organized by the Iranian Graphic Designers Network (IGDN), founded in 2000 in Tehran, one of the first independent design networks of its kind, dedicated to supporting designers and expanding visual culture internationally.

Content Guidelines:

Submitted works should focus on human, social, and conceptual experiences, and avoid direct political or ideological statements. Any use of images, symbols, or direct references to political figures, governmental entities, or political events is not permitted and will result in disqualification. Explicit depictions of violence, conflict, or shocking imagery are discouraged and may negatively affect the evaluation process. Participants are encouraged to communicate their ideas through creative, metaphorical, and indirect visual language. The primary focus of the works should be on human narratives, lived conditions, and shared experiences, rather than promotional messages or direct positioning.

Main Themes:

1. Internet Shutdown

Living in moments when connection is completely cut off. Experiencing digital silence, isolation, and a world that suddenly becomes inaccessible.

2. Life Under Pressure and Suspension

Living under increasing economic and everyday pressures while the future remains uncertain and suspended. Continuing forward within instability.

3. Collective Exhaustion and Continuation

A shared state of mental and emotional fatigue, combined with the ongoing effort to move forward. A balance between exhaustion and resilience.

Global Open Call:

Artists around the world are invited to participate in this international open call. We welcome powerful visual works that reflect contemporary perspectives through creativity, courage, and originality. This platform encourages bold ideas, honest expression, and artistic freedom.
