Story notes
Full story frame
This chapter explores art as a public archive: image, memory, migration, gender, institutions, and the responsibilities of credit and context. The public story page is designed to work like a chapter in a documentary archive: a visitor can watch the video, jump to a timestamp, read the relevant transcript, open the person dossier, and check the sources that support the narration.
For Shirin Neshat, the story should connect the basic biography to the larger question behind the record: An artist whose work connects identity, gender, exile, visual culture, and museum exhibition.

Source and editorial notes
The embedded YouTube video is a placeholder external reference for local testing. Before launch, editors should confirm embedding rights, replace the video with a licensed or owned media asset where possible, and keep a visible credit/source note beside the player.
Reader comments remain gated behind sign-in. Internal editors can still revise the story, transcript, sources, and rights notes from the admin workspace, with audit logs recording who changed what and when.
