Shirin Neshat (B.1957) is an Iranian video and installation artist that explores the political and social conditions of Iranian and Muslim life in her works, particularly focusing on women and feminist issues. Many of her works focus on her shocking experience once she returned to Iran after the revolution of 1979. Her “Women of Allah” series, created in the mid-1990s, introduced the hallmark themes of her pieces through which she examines conditions of male, female, public, private, religious, political, and secular identities in both Iranian and Western cultures. Her videos, installations, and photographs have received great critical acclaim outside of Iran. Her work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, the Istanbul and Johannesburg Biennials, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among other institutions. She is represented by Gladstone Gallery in NY & Brussels, and Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and London.
