Die im Iran geborene Künstlerin Shirin Neshat erkundet das Paradox, eine Künstlerin im Exil zu sein: Eine Stimme für ihr Volk, aber nicht in der Lage heimzukehren. In ihrer Arbeit erforscht sie die prä- und postislamische Revolution im Iran, indem sie durch kraftvolle Bilder von Frauen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Wandel verfolgt.

Shirin Neshat has lived much of her life outside her native Iran. Her photographs and films offer a glimpse of the cultural, religious and political realities that shape the identities of Muslim women worldwide.
