She Who Tells A Story, Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World

Join the Carnegie Museum of Art for a special opening day lecture from Kristen Gresh, Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Assistant Curator of Photographs, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World, opening May 30 at CMOA, introduces the pioneering work of 12 leading women photographers who have tackled the very notion of representation with passion and power, questioning tradition and challenging perceptions of Middle Eastern identity. Their provocative work ranges from fine art to photojournalism and provides insights into political and social issues, including questions of personal identity and the complex political and social landscapes of their home regions in images of great sophistication, expressiveness, and beauty. She Who Tells a Story is an invitation not only to discover new photography, but to shift perspectives and to open a cultural dialogue that begins with art.

She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
