Iranian-born visual artist Shirin Neshat is seen as a powerful voice for Iranian women… but her art has never been shown in Iran. For TED Radio Hour, she speaks with host Manoush Zomorodi on life in exile, how her acclaimed and controversial art is shaped by politics, and her hope for the ongoing protest movement in Iran.
