FT Weekend: Artist Shirin Neshat on the women-led protests in Iran
15 oktober 2022 · 29 min
This week we speak with Shirin Neshat, one of the most famous contemporary artists from Iran, about the protests in her home country.

We talk about what they mean, why this time they’re different, and her art, some of which has been recently projected on buildings in London and Los Angeles. Then, we hear about a new trend in drug research. Scientists can now grow entire human mini-organs in labs. Could that lead to a world without animal testing? The FT’s Clive Cookson and Hannah Kuchler join us to discuss. Lees meer
