Iranian artist Hannah Darabi (b. 1981) was selected as the laureate of the 2025 Prix Elysée by an international jury. In her work, she uses photographs, videos and archive materials to explore popular dance as a form of identity-based resistance rooted in the social and political history of her native country. Her series set images in dialogue with archives, texts and objects to lay bare the political complexity of contemporary Iran.
