IRAN’s Transgender _Lion & Sun_ Revolution Pin _ MADE BY AVIN

A Symbol of Identity, Heritage, and Resistance

This pin is a tribute to the intersection of Iranian history and the fight for queer liberation. Featuring the historic Lion & Sun (Shir-o-Khorshid), a timeless emblem of courage and Iranian sovereignty, this piece reimagines a classic symbol through the lens of the Transgender pride flag.

The Meaning Behind the Metal

More than an accessory, this pin is a wearable statement of solidarity and remembrance. It was created to honor the brave individuals who lost their lives in Iran’s ongoing struggle for freedom—specifically giving a voice to the queer and trans fighters who are often silenced or erased from the narrative.

• Tribute to the Fallen: A commitment to keeping the stories of Iranian freedom fighters alive.

• Queer Solidarity: An unapologetic fusion of Iranian heritage and Transgender identity.

• Art as Resistance: A tangible way to carry the revolution with you, wherever you are in the world.

The Artist

Designed with intentionality by Avin Azad, a queer Iranian artist based in Toronto. This project is part of a larger mission to transform collective memory into light and turn the act of resistance into a lasting work of art.

Wear it proudly.

Let the world remember.
