Memories Left Behind: A Traveling exhibition of Resistance & Remembrance

"Memories Left Behind" is a traveling exhibition that gives voice to those who have been silenced.
Bringing together over 150 personal belongings — from clothing and letters to glasses, mobile phones, and keepsakes — it tells the stories of individuals who were killed by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Through these intimate narratives, the exhibition acts as a form of narrative politics, transforming personal loss into a shared moral story that forges collective memory and invites action. 
Many of these items were smuggled out by grassroots volunteers and entrusted by survivors and families. These belongings have become silent witnesses: a jacket worn at protests, shoes left at the scene of a street massacre, a letter written before an execution — each object tied to a life, a memory, an act of resistance.
After being shown in Stockholm, Oslo, Cologne, and Vienna, the exhibition now arrives in Berlin during Freedom Week.
