i could not find any link to any article, nor the link to the exhibition, if there's any.
so here's the link to the pics.

ps: pic n.4 tells much about the exhibit spin

1. What about it? Islam forbids images of humans, chador or no chador.

I'm not sure what the point is.

3. the first point is just sharing news about it. the second is...

...that it's interesting to learn the "narrative" path of an exhibit in iran.
that's all.

5. If I sounded snarky, I apologize I didn't mean to be. The site you linked to is

Italian so I wasn't able to determine the reason you posted it. I didn't see anything in English about a narrative path.

6. no, it's all fine. i got what you meant.

as to "narrative" - i meant the political spin given to the exhibit, which the pics in the site give a glimpse of.
especially pics 4 and 8.

ciao ;)

9. It's hard to understand why any of the images got included in a

Koran exhibit. The Obama image and the dogs wearing flags are blatant propaganda but the motivations to put Mona Lisa in a chador is a mystery. Is it supposed to be ironic? I don't know what to make of it.

2. Here's a translation of the caption

Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece 'redesigned' in key Islamic, while wearing a chador, the head covering worn by women when they appear in public is one of the works displayed at the International Koran Exhibition in Tehran mosque

8. Iconic images are always being reworked.

Sometimes imaginatively sometimes not.
