The Iranian-born artist and filmmaker Shirin Neshat was 17 when she arrived in Los Angeles—and she hated it. The Hollywood glamour that had intoxicated her in her hometown cinema was not what she encountered. She later moved north to study art at Berkeley but continued to feel lost and, after graduating, Neshat stopped making art for ten years. Forty years on, she is triumphantly returning to the city where her dreams were dashed. The exhibition spans her 30-year career, showing more than 230 photographs and eight video installations, many exploring her American Iranian identity in the context of the ruptures between the West and the Middle East. They include the new multimedia work, Land of Dreams (2019).
