ABOUT

Shirin Neshat’s Women of Allah is a photographic series exploring the complex identities of Muslim women in post-revolutionary Iran. Combining black-and-white portraits, Persian calligraphy, and symbolic elements such as guns and veils, Neshat interrogates themes of martyrdom, violence, femininity, and resistance. The works challenge Western stereotypes of Muslim women as passive or oppressed, while also critiquing the Iranian regime's militarized constructions of female martyrdom and religiosity.
