Shirin Neshat: Facing History is a major exhibition of the work of the internationally acclaimed artist, who examines the nuances of power and gender in the Islamic world—particularly in her native Iran. The first exhibition to place Neshat’s work in the context of the history of modern Iran, it is organized according to the chronology of historical events, from the 1953 coup that reinstalled the Shah to the 1979 Islamic Revolution to the Green Revolution.
