Join the Photo London Master of Photography award recipient Shirin Neshat in conversation with Yasufumi Nakamori, Senior Curator of International Art (Photography) at Tate Modern. Over the past three decades, working across photography, video and cinema, Neshat has dedicated her practice to an understanding of the religious and political forces of power that have shaped Iranian and other Islamic cultures. Her art centres on the contrasts between Islam and the West, femininity and masculinity, public life and private life, antiquity and modernity, and bridging the spaces between these subjects.
