On the occasion of her public artwork, WOMAN LIFE FREEDOM, which appears across public screens in London and Los Angeles, CIRCA presents a time-limited edition by Shirin Neshat.
Created in support of Human Rights Watch, this time-limited edition reflects Neshat’s unwavering commitment to amplifying the voices of the oppressed and advocating for justice. Renowned for her ability to confront deeply sensitive themes, Neshat’s work bridges the personal and political. As an Iranian visual artist based in New York, she examines the complexities of identity, gender, and cultural heritage. This print, drawn from her iconic Women of Allah series (1993–1997), captures an intimate yet defiant portrait of Iranian women navigating a society marked by profound contradictions. The Farsi calligraphy adorning the subject’s skin reflects poetry and political resistance, offering a poignant exploration of freedom, power, and resilience.
In WOMAN LIFE FREEDOM, Neshat stands in solidarity with the Iranian people amidst their calls for equality and fundamental human rights. As protests and movements for justice echo worldwide, this artwork transcends borders, speaking directly to the universal struggle for dignity and liberation.
Each print supports Human Rights Watch's work and is a tangible commitment to standing with those fighting for freedom. Bring home a piece of art that not only resonates profoundly but also drives meaningful change.
