Shirin neshat: a soulful nomad in search of a home
Shirin Neshat’s work, like “Women of Allah,” reflects a personal journey of “homecoming” to post-revolution Iran, blending politics with artistic expression. Through powerful imagery—veils, guns, and calligraphy—she critiques both the Iranian regime and Western perceptions. Her video installations, such as “Turbulent,” explore gender divides, while her feature film “Women without Men” delves into themes of oppression and transcendence, embodying her complex relationship with her homeland.
