Shirin Neshat

Shirin Neshat (born March 26, 1957 in Qazvin, Iran) is a contemporary visual artist who lives in New York. She is known primarily for her work in film, video and photography. Neshat's parents were upper middle-class. Her father was a well-respected physician and her mother a homemaker. She grew up in a westernized household that adored the Shah of Iran and his ideologies. Neshat has stated about her father, "He fantasized about the west, romanticized the west, and slowly rejected all of his own values; both my parents did. What happened, I think, was that their identity slowly dissolved, they exchanged it for comfort. It served their class" (Mackenzie 3). As a part of Neshat's "Westernization" she was enrolled in a Catholic boarding school in Tehran. She found the environment cold and hostile in comparison to her caring family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

The Islamic Republic holds no place in Iran's future.Iran, the country with such a rich history and admirable performance actual occupied by criminals, barbaric forces and corrupted agendas only for its advantages.Iraner must provide/learn for hers country, to provide for Iran that contributed to human civilization in every positive aspect imaginable for thousands of years."Intelligent Iran-people" remember that!
