요약In this dissertation, I explore the complex relationship between artistic expression, political resistance, and transnational activism within contemporary Iran and its diaspora. I investigate how individuals and communities utilize creative practices, particularly sound and music, as powerful tools for dissent, identity formation, and political engagement across geographical borders. This research employs a multifaceted approach, combining empirical methods such as personal observation and in-depth interviews with theoretical analysis to understand the lived experiences of artists and activists within broader socio-political contexts. A central aim is to illuminate the innovative ways in which creative elements are integrated into protest tactics, functioning not merely as accompaniment but as integral components for conveying opposition and building solidarity.In Chapter One, I provide the background and methodology, outlining the core research questions and the blend of observational, analytical, and interview-based approaches employed. It also introduces "White Room," an interdisciplinary performance-installation project that serves as an experiential extension of the dissertation's concepts.Chapter Two delves into the protest tactics used in Iran during the 2022-2023 Women, Life, Freedom movement. I analyze the unique characteristics of this movement, focusing on the innovative uses of sound, such as delay effects and vocal registers in chants, language, and performance art in various public and university spaces to express dissent and address safety concerns.The third chapter shifts focus to diaspora political activism and transnationalism, comparing tactics, such as protests, lobbying, cultural advocacy, as well as motivations across different diasporic groups, including Sri Lankan Tamils and Hong Kongers. It examines how diasporas mobilize resources and navigate the significant challenge of transnational repression, drawing on examples from the experiences of Syrians and Libyans.In Chapter Four, I present documentation and analysis of my observations of Iranian diaspora protests in the United States, specifically in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. I analyze diaspora-specific tactics, including the crucial role of sound and music, such as adaptations of chants and the use of traditional instruments, the application of performance art, and the ways cultural symbols are employed to assert identity and solidarity while engaging with host societies.The fifth chapter features my interviews with contemporary Iranian composers Niloufar Nourbakhsh and Adib Ghorbani. It explores how their personal experiences, cultural identities, and the socio-political realities of Iran shape their compositional voices, examining themes of censorship, resistance, truth-finding, and the shift towards creating accessible music for activism.In Chapter Six, I examine the theoretical underpinnings of the "White Room" installation, connecting its concepts to the philosophies of Hannah Arendt (e.g. propaganda and totalitarianism), Michel Foucault (e.g. disciplinary power and surveillance), and Antonio Gramsci (e.g. hegemony and consent) within the context of power structures and control.In the seventh chapter, I provide a technical and conceptual breakdown of my installation, White Room, describing its mechanism, musical materials, sensor integration, Arduino and Max patch functionalities, and the mechanisms for audience interaction and their influence.The last chapter of my dissertation synthesizes my findings on the intersectionality of art and activism in the Iranian context and its diaspora. I argue that artistic practices are vital forms of political discourse and resilience, connecting the research back to the White Room project and the broader significance of art in challenging power structures globally.

■520    ▼aIn  this  dissertation,  I  explore  the  complex  relationship  between  artistic  expression,  political  resistance,  and  transnational  activism  within  contemporary  Iran  and  its  diaspora.  I  investigate  how  individuals  and  communities  utilize  creative  practices,  particularly  sound  and  music,  as  powerful  tools  for  dissent,  identity  formation,  and  political  engagement  across  geographical  borders.  This  research  employs  a  multifaceted  approach,  combining  empirical  methods  such  as  personal  observation  and  in-depth  interviews  with  theoretical  analysis  to  understand  the  lived  experiences  of  artists  and  activists  within  broader  socio-political  contexts.  A  central  aim  is  to  illuminate  the  innovative  ways  in  which  creative  elements  are  integrated  into  protest  tactics,  functioning  not  merely  as  accompaniment  but  as  integral  components  for  conveying  opposition  and  building  solidarity.In  Chapter  One,  I  provide  the  background  and  methodology,  outlining  the  core  research  questions  and  the  blend  of  observational,  analytical,  and  interview-based  approaches  employed.  It  also  introduces  "White  Room,"  an  interdisciplinary  performance-installation  project  that  serves  as  an  experiential  extension  of  the  dissertation's  concepts.Chapter  Two  delves  into  the  protest  tactics  used  in  Iran  during  the  2022-2023  Women,  Life,  Freedom  movement.  I  analyze  the  unique  characteristics  of  this  movement,  focusing  on  the  innovative  uses  of  sound,  such  as  delay  effects  and  vocal  registers  in  chants,  language,  and  performance  art  in  various  public  and  university  spaces  to  express  dissent  and  address  safety  concerns.The  third  chapter  shifts  focus  to  diaspora  political  activism  and  transnationalism,  comparing  tactics,  such  as  protests,  lobbying,  cultural  advocacy,  as  well  as  motivations  across  different  diasporic  groups,  including  Sri  Lankan  Tamils  and  Hong  Kongers.  It  examines  how  diasporas  mobilize  resources  and  navigate  the  significant  challenge  of  transnational  repression,  drawing  on  examples  from  the  experiences  of  Syrians  and  Libyans.In  Chapter  Four,  I  present  documentation  and  analysis  of  my  observations  of  Iranian  diaspora  protests  in  the  United  States,  specifically  in  New  York  City,  Washington,  D.C.,  and  Philadelphia.  I  analyze  diaspora-specific  tactics,  including  the  crucial  role  of  sound  and  music,  such  as  adaptations  of  chants  and  the  use  of  traditional  instruments,  the  application  of  performance  art,  and  the  ways  cultural  symbols  are  employed  to  assert  identity  and  solidarity  while  engaging  with  host  societies.The  fifth  chapter  features  my  interviews  with  contemporary  Iranian  composers  Niloufar  Nourbakhsh  and  Adib  Ghorbani.  It  explores  how  their  personal  experiences,  cultural  identities,  and  the  socio-political  realities  of  Iran  shape  their  compositional  voices,  examining  themes  of  censorship,  resistance,  truth-finding,  and  the  shift  towards  creating  accessible  music  for  activism.In  Chapter  Six,  I  examine  the  theoretical  underpinnings  of  the  "White  Room"  installation,  connecting  its  concepts  to  the  philosophies  of  Hannah  Arendt  (e.g.  propaganda  and  totalitarianism),  Michel  Foucault  (e.g.  disciplinary  power  and  surveillance),  and  Antonio  Gramsci  (e.g.  hegemony  and  consent)  within  the  context  of  power  structures  and  control.In  the  seventh  chapter,  I  provide  a  technical  and  conceptual  breakdown  of  my  installation,  White  Room,  describing  its  mechanism,  musical  materials,  sensor  integration,  Arduino  and  Max  patch  functionalities,  and  the  mechanisms  for  audience  interaction  and  their  influence.The  last  chapter  of  my  dissertation  synthesizes  my  findings  on  the  intersectionality  of  art  and  activism  in  the  Iranian  context  and  its  diaspora.  I  argue  that  artistic  practices  are  vital  forms  of  political  discourse  and  resilience,  connecting  the  research  back  to  the  White  Room  project  and  the  broader  significance  of  art  in  challenging  power  structures  globally.
