This is the second of two related pieces which form the artist's commissioned response to the exhibition Liberators: 12 Extraordinary Women Artists from the Ben Uri Collection (2017). The title refers to 'the Girls of Enghelab (Revolution) Street' movement, started in central Tehran in 2018, after a woman removed her headscarf in protest against the compulsory wearing of the hijab. The piece also incorporates swallows made from Persian cloth given to the artist by her friends and family, referencing her installation Flying (2016). The companion piece of the same title also features the swallow motif within a diamond-shaped headscarf.
