| Abstract
|
:
|
This thesis aspires to provide a working knowledge of Western ideals in photography to best evaluate and understand the contemporary works of three Iranian female photographers, Shirin Neshat, Shirin Aliabadi, and Shadi Ghadirian respectively. Framed within a discussion of Iran's socio-political climate, in-depth analyses of the aforementioned artists establish an appropriate discourse necessary to understand the relevance, value, and art emerging from Iran. Situated within a larger, more globalized frame of the contemporary art community today, applications of Iranian socio-historical methodologies provide a working knowledge of the human condition in contemporary Iran. Shirin Neshat, Shirin Aliabadi, and Shadi Ghadirian navigate the ever-oscillating identity of the Iranian woman through their photographs, delving deeper into an exploration of the nuances of life in an archaic society.
