During the 12th Revolution Art Week, pop singer and composer Mohsen Chavoshi was honored as the “Face of the Islamic Revolution in 1404.” Excerpts from Chavoshi’s works “Elaaj” and “Hasbi Allah” were broadcast, and the audience participated in singing along.
In 1404, while the nation was engaged in two imposed conflicts lasting 12 days and the Ramadan War, Chavoshi produced the musical pieces “Elaaj” and “Hasbi Allah.”
These works connected music to the concept of patriotism, elicited substantial public response, sustained the spirit of resistance during critical periods, and reinforced hope among the populace.
Other candidates for the “Person of the Year of the Islamic Revolution Art” award included Seyyed Ali Mirfatah, a painter, journalist, and artistic figure; Maryam Shabani, director and writer of the theater productions “For Hana” and “Angels of Minab”; Sirous Moghadam, director and manager of the “Paytakht 7” series; and Mohammad Mirkiani, a prominent writer known for the series “Our Story Became Similar.”
Following the martyrdom of Seyyed Morteza Avini, a distinguished artistic and revolutionary figure, on the 20th of Farvardin in 1993, this date was designated as “Islamic Revolution Art Day” upon the recommendation of poets, writers, and artists from the Art Center to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution. Commemorating the anniversary of Avini’s martyrdom, the Sayyed Martyrs of the Writers, under the initiative of the Islamic Revolution Art Center, has organized a series of programs across the country from the 10th to the 17th of Farvardin since 2015. At the conclusion of this week, the “Person of the Year of the Islamic Revolution Art” is announced.
