Nasim Nasar: Women in Shadow

At the 2018 Fashion Hub, co-presented with the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS), Nasim Nasr filled the Turbine Hall with video, sound and contemporary dance, delivering the audience a runway show with a powerful twist. Nasr's work boldly orchestrates a meeting of East and West that confounds cultural norms and puts notions of gender identity firmly into question. A continuing theme in her work, fashion is here explored as a cultural signifier and a source of engenderment and a product of social construction.
