A vivid and compelling collection of quotations from the
influential contemporary artist and filmmaker Shirin Neshat
Neshat-isms is an exciting collection of quotations from
award-winning Iranian-American visual artist and filmmaker Shirin
Neshat. Her experiences of loss and grief as an Iranian woman
living in exile are central themes of her work in photography,
video, and film. She is known for her outspoken advocacy for
Iranian women and human rights, and for poetic and politically
charged images and narratives that raise questions about power,
religion, race, and gender. Gathered from interviews, talks, and
writings, these powerful and thought-provoking quotations showcase
the voice of one of the most important artists of our time.
“Through my work I have continued to defy and resist the Western
clichéd image of Iranian women as passive victims. While
acknowledging the repressive situation in Iran, I have continued to
represent Iranian women as empowered, courageous, defiant, and
rebellious.” “Every Iranian artist, in one form or another, is
political. Politics has defined our lives.” “I’ve done a lot
of work about women in a state of madness, where ultimately they
find a kind of freedom.” “You can’t demystify a myth.”
