A Muslim woman performer in "Turbulent"
Shirin Neshat, an Iranian artist living in the US, makes large-scale, multiple-screen videos depicting Muslim women's relations with Islam.
Her work is censored in her native Iran, and she tapes and photographs many of her projects in neigboring Muslim countries.
In the video installation "Turbulent", she seems to be making a double plea.
That the Muslim woman's voice be heard.
And that the Muslim woman's rendition of Islam be heard.
I am tackling this idea of the Muslim woman trying to save the Muslim world in "Islam's Missionary Women", an essay I just posted.
