Correlations of Visual Arts & Cinema + Q&A
Shoja Azari - Shirin Neshat - Babak Payami , (USA , Canada)

Neshat’s provocative photographs, videos and multimedia installations have resonated with the curators of many major international art exhibitions, including the XLVIII Venice Biennale,  where she won the top prize in 1999. Her first feature film, Women Without Men, tells the stories of four women struggling to escape oppression in Tehran. It won her the Silver Lion for best  director at the 2010 Venice Film Festival. "Walk into a Shirin Neshat film installation and the images seize you: big, memorable,  physically beautiful, exploring the role of women in Islamic society in terms of cinematic poetry, so that even the stifling chador becomes powerfully expressive." The New York Times, July 15, 2002 .The work of Neshat addresses the social, political and psychological dimensions of women's  experience in contemporary Islamic societies.
