As part of the Eyes on Iran initiative organised by For Freedoms, renowned artist Shirin Neshat contributed a striking photographic work installed on New York’s Roosevelt Island, directly facing the United Nations headquarters. The project, launched in solidarity with the women-led protests in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini, brought together a collective of artists to spotlight human rights abuses and advocate for global accountability. Neshat’s contribution—a powerful image of a veiled woman with defiant gaze—embodies her long-standing commitment to amplifying the voices of Iranian women and addressing themes of repression, identity, and resistance through art.
