unfortunately this was at the gone if the
Iranian revolution and it
affected her returning to her home country.
affected her returning to her home country.
She is known worldwide for her images of Muslim woman with Farsi calligraphy superimposed on the faces and hands of these women. It can relate to the symbolism having a background and childhood in Islamic Asia. Neshat is obviously passionate about her art and the identity of women in Islamic culture.
I personally think she is trying to show the differences in gender in relation to this culture. Her film 'turbulent' shows a full audience listening to a male singer concurrent with the silent black outline of a woman facing empty seats. The man is applauded for his emotional singing but in contrast no one acknowledges the woman. Iran does not approve of females singing publicly. Neshat I think is showing the world the social standing of women in this part of the world and the impact Islam has on that. She is perhaps showing woman are stronger than we believe and can and should break Free of Islamic oppression.
Using my skill of writing in modern Persian and Arabic script I will produce some good outcome in response to Neshat's work, I would like to explore her work further in this project, because it's something different that not many students doesn't within the UK schooling system
