Challenging the international preconceptions of womenâ€™s roles within an Islamic state, Tehran-based artist Shadi Ghadirianâ€™s photographs draw from her own experiences as a modern woman living within the ancient codes of Shariah law. Her images describe a positive and holistic female identity, humorously taking issue with the traditional roles by which women â€“ both in the Middle East and universally â€“ have been defined.
