Shirin Neshat: Rapture -- Film Installation and Photographs
This exhibition by internationally renowned artist, Shirin Neshat, features the film installation and photographs from her work Rapture. The social and psychological experience of gender in contemporary Islamic society is explored in this powerful, poetic media installation. Two opposing projections present men and women kept apart but locked in a balance of polarities.
