PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea presents the first major solo exhibition in Italy of Iranian artist Shirin Neshat (1957, Qazvin). The exhibition spans the artist’s more than 30-year career, with almost 200 photographs and ten video installations, collected by the world’s most important museums.
A multidisciplinary artist, Neshat works with photography, video, film and theatre, creating highly lyrical narratives and politically loaded visions that question the themes of power, religion, race and the relationship between past and present, east and west, individual and collective.
