Shirin Neshat is the most famous Iranian artist in the world, even though she’s spent a large part of her adult life in exile. Her work is both intensely personal and intensely political, dealing with Iranian identity, Islamic society, and the role of women in both. Eleanor Wachtel, host of Writers & Company, talks to Shirin Neshat about growing up in pre-revolutionary Iran, her work as an artist, and why it’s a deep expression of her own conflicted relationship with her homeland.
I am deeply inspired by Shirin Neshat's work but not necessarily because of the reasons stated above but because of reasons which are explored further within the following interview. Shirin's work has a dialogue of conflict & balance, this very idealogy has fueled the inspiration for the Interlacing Opposing Thoughts series, SHARD as well as the newest series which I am working on now.
The following is an interview clip taken from the CBC.

mono has been selected to participate in a new online shopping initiative based out of London.
NJAL is an online platform for emerging graduates and design talent, counting more than a thousand fashion designers from over forty countries. THE SHOP gives birth to a new kind of shopping experience offering unique, one-off designer garments. Addicts and admirers alike now have the opportunity to purchase special and limited edition pieces from designers recognised as the leaders in avant-garde fashion.
The first to host THE SHOP is Robin Schulié, head-buyer of the iconic Maria Luisa store in Paris and Unit F, the Austrian Association for Contemporary fashion. Diane Pernet, editor of cult-favourite blog, A Shaded View On Fashion, and founder of ASVOFF, fashion film festival, has been announced as our host in July.
Each consecutive month thereafter will be headed by another leading industry figure.
We are so thrilled to be included in this initiative.
Over the next couple of months, a rotating selection of mono work will be offered on the site, so make sure to pop in ever once & awhile to see what is new.
Happy summertime!
