Titel Shirin Neshat: Kunst in ballingschap
Korte omschrijving De kunstenares van Iraanse afkomst Shirin Neshat verkent de paradox van de kunstenaar in ballingschap: ze is de stem van haar volk, maar kan niet naar huis gaan. In haar werk verkent ze het Iran van voor en na de islamitische revolutie, en trekt ze de politieke en maatschappelijke veranderingen na aan de hand van krachtige vrouwenportretten.

Korte omschrijving The Ahadi Quilt came to the United States. Survivors of sexual violence in the Eastern Congo have produced over 100 hand embroidered panels that tell their story.

The panels are currently being assembled into six quilts by two quilting associations in the United States: the Capitol City Quilt Guild in Michigan and the Faithful Circle Quilting Guild of Maryland in partnership with The Advocacy Project and the SOS Femmes en Danger.
