            <p>“She Who Tells a Story” introduces the pioneering work of

              twelve leading women photographers from Iran and the Arab

              world: Jananne Al-Ani, Boushra Almutawakel, Gohar Dashti,

              Rana El Nemr, Lalla Essaydi, Shadi Ghadirian, Tanya

              Habjouqa, Rula Halawani, Nermine Hammam, Rania Matar,

              Shirin Neshat, and Newsha Tavakolian.</p>

            <div style="" class="additional-content">

              <p class="additional-item"> These prominent photographers

                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 exploring

                the complex political and social landscapes of their

                home regions in images of great sophistication,

                expressiveness, and beauty.</p>
