Shirin Neshat

With a foreword by Marina Abramovic and an essay by Arthur Danto, this publication is a rich visual anthology of Neshat's iconic works, including the Women of Allah series. Reflecting the complexities of femininity, religion, and identity, this publication also highlights Neshat’s many video works such as Rapture (1999) and Turbulent (1998). It delves into the political and social commentary embedded in Neshat's art and discusses the broader themes she addresses, such as immigration, cultural identity, and the tensions between tradition and modernity. This book emphasizes Neshat's role in expanding the vocabulary of contemporary art, as well as her status as a key figure in the global conversation about the role of women in art and politics.
