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.

Their stories will inspire girls who want to find a place in the arts and girls who simply seek the courage to make their own voices heard in the world.
