A dialogue between two artists from the Islamic world — Sarah Brahim (born in 1992 in Saudi Arabia) and Shirin Neshat (born in 1957 in Iran) — opens in London in September. Their exhibition Cartographies of Presence features the multimedia practices of both female artists, encompassing film, performance, photography and poetry to explore theintersection of the personal, collective and political. While from different countries as well as generations, the works of both Neshat and Brahim explore the human body as a vessel in which to examine the language of ritual, memory, resistance and transcendence.
