IRAN IS THE ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA. Mountains, deserts, beaches, tons of Persians, and a culture that has shaped the world more than the world knows. In the 1970s, the site of the former Persian Empire was a worldwide business and pleasure destination. Were it not for the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Caspian Sea might today be mentioned on par with Paris as a tourism hotspot; Tehran in the same breath as London as a financial center. Before The Chador is a collection of 30 photographs of one family in the days before the Iranian body and sense of style became something to be kept concealed. Curated by Malkovich Music.
