WASHINGTON, DC---A landmark exhibition of photographs by 12 contemporary women artists from Iran and the Arab world will be on view at the
National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) through July.
"She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World" challenges stereotypes surrounding the people, landscapes, and cultures of the region, and provides insight into political and social issues. The exhibition presents more than 80 photographs and a video installation. These provocative works—most created within the last decade—range in genre from portraiture, to documentary, to staged narratives.
National Museum of Women in the Arts: "She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World" (Ends July 31, 2016); 1250 New York Ave NW, Washington, D.C.; (202)783-5000; nmwa.org
