This is a very interesting article revealing how young women in Iran react to their extremist culture when forced to engage with the larger world around them.
However, I wonder whether this story would have been stronger if the painter, Saghar Daeeri, was introduced earlier. As facinating as it is, it doesn't always seem clear what this story is about (i.e. the painters art or the culture from which the art has sprung). It almost seems like it is two stories in one.
