Did You Know?

One woman looks at us, asking if we have the courage to stand up, stand out from the crowd, and be counted.

Description

Shirin Neshat uses photography and video to expose the role of gender in the creation of power structures and social values. During Friday prayers, a vital communal practice in Islam, men and women are required to sit separately, divided by a cloth wall. One woman turns her head to challenge that separation.
