Catalogue Essay
Standing in the sea, an Iranian woman stares fiercely at the viewer, fully clothed as the waves hit her. From Newsha Tavakolian’s interpretative portrait series Listen, this work is one of six imaginary CD covers that she designed for Iranian women singers who are not allowed to perform solo or produce their own CDs due to Islamic regulations in place since 1979. Tavakolian explains that this project ‘echoes the voices of these silenced women. I let Iranian women singers perform through my camera while the world has never heard them’.
