Neshat’s art transcends borders. It resonates emotionally and intellectually with viewers regardless of religion, gender or ethnicity. Her work has been featured in a retrospective at The Broad in Los Angeles, and has earned numerous accolades, including the International Prize at the Venice Biennale and the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival for her political drama 'Women Without Men' (2009). This month [August 2025], she adds yet another title to her list of accomplishments – director of 'Aida' for the Paris Opera – a role that promises to merge her distinct visual world with the grandeur and history of one of Europe’s most storied cultural institutions.
