Description

About the Book

Offers the first comprehensive study of the internationally acclaimed Iranian visual artist and filmmaker whose work bridges cinema, photography and installation art.

Book Synopsis

Bringing together leading and emerging scholars, this volume traces Neshat's evolution from Women of Allah to her feature films Women Without Men, Looking for Oum Kulthum and Land of Dreams, situating her within global debates on feminism, exile and transnational aesthetics.

Organised around three themes: Feminist Interventions and Cinematic Authorship, Diasporic Visions and Transnational Frames, and Sensory Histories and Poetic Bodies, the collection presents diverse critical perspectives on her aesthetics of resistance and the politics of representation.

Featuring an exclusive interview with Neshat, the book offers new interdisciplinary insights into her artistic and cinematic legacy, positioning her as a pivotal figure whose work transforms personal narratives of displacement into universal meditations on power, memory and identity.
