Tehran art installation depicts US president in mock prison cell
A Tehran exhibition features a replica prison cell with an actor playing Donald Trump, accompanied by messages condemning a recent US strike in Iran.
The display in Tehran includes a billboard-sized mock jail where a performer portraying Donald Trump walks and sits inside the cell. Text beside the installation reads, “Not seeing this scene is a crime,” and references a US airstrike on a wedding in Sirkik that killed two women and two children and injured over 60 people. Iranian state media reported the casualties. Visitor Farzaneh Arabzadeh said she hopes the artwork reflects reality, blaming Trump for worsening the conflict.
