Audience in Blue Chairs- 2017

Women attendees of Shia mourning rituals, commemorating the martyrdom of the third Shai Imam-- Imam Hossein in IMAN (Iranian-American Muslim Association of North America). IMAN advocates for a reformed mourning practice that does not involve chest-beating and self-flagellation. Instead, IMAN holds sermons and speeches about Imam Hossein, usually given by non-clerics.
