Radio Khiaban, is an online platform and podcast dedicated to women in Iran reclaiming public spaces, through feminist interventions of singing, and other transgressive acts in public spaces. 

The project aims to address the spatial discriminations, endemic to patriarchal societies everywhere: the policing of women’s voices and bodies, and their disenfranchisement from public space. How, silenced and constrained, women must creatively navigate the same streets that men easily move through.

Each episode of the podcast focuses on one aspect of gendered bodies and spatial inequality: the performances that are considered taboo or there is controversy around them in public by women, as well as places that restrict women by segregating them, or from entering them all together. Each episode has a special guest participant: a female singer who chooses a public space in which she sings and then she reflects on her bodily experience of the site-specific performance. Other participants and guests of each episode reflect on the specific topic of that episode.
