Shirin
Neshat
IRANIAN
EXILE :
WOMEN OF
ALLAH
Shirin Neshat is an Iranian visual artist who lives in New York City.
She is known primarily for her work in film, video and photography.
Neshat left Iran to study art in Los Angeles at about the time that the Iranian
Revolution occurred.
About a year after the revolution, Neshat moved to the San Francisco Bay
area and began studying at Dominican College.
Eventually, she enrolled in UC Berkeley and completed her BA, MA and MFA.
CONTROVERSY :
• Shirin was threatened with her life by the
Iranian government for representing women in
Iran in a wrong way.
• Shirin was ordered further 1 decade of exile
from Iran.
• Later on, due to diplomatic talks and foreign
embassy meetings, Shirin was allowed to return
to her country and reunite with her family.
• In India, many protests happened due to the
Farsi poetry used in the photographs.
• The photo exhibition was banned in India due to
these protests.
Shirin also made a movie (WOMEN OF ALLAH) supporting
her exhibition so that the people who didn’t understand
her pictures were able to understand her point by the of
her movie.
