The internationally acclaimed artist Shirin Neshat has been creating powerful works of art through photography, video, and film for more than three decades. 

Born in Iran and based in the United States since her late teens, her work has frequently addressed issues of gender, identity, and political conflict in the Middle East. 

In the newest installment of Artsy and BMW’s “Future of Art” series, Neshat reflects on her rise as an artist and the portraits of her recent “Land of Dreams” series at her studio in Brooklyn, New York. “When I look back at these images, I really think that they capture the humanity behind these people, regardless of their ethnic and religious background,” she says of the photographs of New Mexico citizens overlaid with calligraphy. “And they really, in my opinion, become a true depiction of what America looks like today.” 

As for the future, Neshat admits that she is ready to accept the uncertainty of what comes next.

This is the seventh installment of our Future of Art series, presented in partnership with artsy
