Pishi_darmani, 2020, Social – Participatory Art

In every country, you can spot one or two animals that are commonly seen wandering on the streets. In Iran, it’s the cats that can be found almost everywhere. These cats usually rely on scavenging through the trash to find their food and often need help.  An Instagram page called “Pishi_darmani” was created to address this concern. This page not only aims to promote these feline creatures by sharing amusing and delightful videos but also strives to encourage people to adopt street cats.  This is a social platform where people come together to rescue injured cats and help them find a new home. The page also posts ads to promote the adoption of these cats. People from different regions of Iran participate by spreading the word and helping find a home for needy cats. They temporarily care for these cats until a suitable person agrees to adopt them.
