This public event is part of the London Film School's Shirin Neshat Artists' Filmmaking Workshop presented by the London Film School in collaboration with the Barbican, The Courtauld Institute of Art and tank.tv. This programme has been made possible with the generous support of The Arts Council England (ACE), Magic of Persia and Taymour Grahne Gallery.
Shirin Neshat is an Iranian-born, New York-based artist, photographer and filmmaker. Her work often addresses the social, political and psychological dimensions of women’s experiences in contemporary Middle Eastern societies. Neshat’s videography projects Turbulent and Rapture won the prestigious International Award at the XLVIII Venice Biennale. In 2009 she won the Silver Lion for best director at the 66th Venice Film Festival for her feature directorial debut, Women Without Men.
At this screening and Q&A, Neshat opens her sketchbook and discusses her practice with the audience. The screening will contain excerpts of her work spanning across her career from her earliest works to her latest film, with the Q&A opening the floor to the audience.
