The Pride & Heritage Trio

A Collection of Identity and Resistance

The Pride & Heritage series is a collection of wearable art that bridges the gap between ancestral history and modern identity. Each pin features the Lion & Sun (Shir-o-Khorshid)—Iran’s historic emblem of courage and sovereignty—interwoven with the flags of the global LGBTQ+ movement.

Designed by queer Iranian artist Avin Azad, these pins serve as a living memorial to the brave souls of the Iranian revolution. By merging these symbols, the collection ensures that the diverse voices of the resistance are recognized, remembered, and celebrated.
