Shirin Neshat: Art in exile - POWERFUL !

By Khmer Democrat, Phnom Penh
Power to the Women Series!

Iranian-born artist Shirin Neshat explores the paradox of being an artist in exile: a voice for her people, but unable to go home. In her work, she explores Iran pre- and post-Islamic Revolution, tracing political and societal change through powerful images of women.


Why you should listen to her:

Shirin Neshat is among the best-known Persian artists in the Western world. She has lived in the United States, in self-imposed exile from her native Iran, for most of her adult life. This experience, of being caught between two cultures, dominates Neshat’s creative work: each of her pieces offers a glimpse into the complex social, religious and political realities that shape her identity—and the identities of Muslim women worldwide.

Neshat’s provocative photographs, videos and multimedia installations have resonated with the curators of many major international art exhibitions, including the XLVIII Venice Biennale, where she won the top prize in 1999. Her first feature film, Women Without Men, tells the stories of four women struggling to escape oppression in Tehran. It won her the Silver Lion for best director at the 2010 Venice Film Festival.
"Walk into a Shirin Neshat film installation and the images seize you: big, memorable, physically beautiful, exploring the role of women in Islamic society in terms of cinematic poetry, so that even the stifling chador becomes powerfully expressive."

He should be called Mr. Hun Sen not Samdach that is a title in paper. Mr. Bush, Mr. obama have higher rank but only is used- not samdach, not excellency.
Just say 4 star general not 4 gold star general. there is no difference between gold and siver, it is just a symbol it is not about gold or silver, but about rank. SORRY FOR OUT OF TOPIC.

I am PhoNamViet and I had seen what the Federation can do to destroy a country.

Vietnam is not going the way of the Soviet or the Yugoslavia style of Federation! Any ambition that the Vietnamese leaders have about Federation of Indochina will definitely destroy Vietnam as a whole country!

Cambodia and the Khmer Krom people are free to have their wish!

Why do all Funcinpec Party leaders forget 1997 coup with over thousands and thousands Khmer murdered by Hun Sen?

Why do Prince Ranaridth and all Funcinpec party leaders are betray innocent Khmers blood from 1979-1993 and 1997 coup...etc Why?

They are show extremely clear that they are the leaders have no responsible for their action. These are extremely bad role model for young Khmers generation. They are weaker young Khmers generation spirit in fighting Vietnam invasion.

They are betray thousands and thousands innocent Khmers blood that they lead them to grave with injustice.

They are monsters from hell. They betray Khmers blood and they liar!

They are only work to make them rich by using innocent Khmers blood and liar to Khmer nation. If there is a true God please punish them for eternity in hell.
