U.S.-based Iranian artist Shirin Neshat has created a rich video series delving into the complex lives of women in her homeland. Mixing magic, tragedy, history, and politics, the videos explore five female characters from Shahrnush Parsipur’s magic-realist novel Women Without Men. In this special LACMA program Shirin Neshat will show clips from and discuss this video series with Nasrin Rahimieh, professor of comparative literature and film, UC Irvine.
