The View from Here: Contemporary Art from the Middle East and North Africa
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) encompasses a diverse array of cultures and landscapes 鈥� likewise the artworks in this exhibition have no single viewpoint or style. What they share though, is a concern with identity and tradition and how to reflect on and communicate that in our current times. Artists like Adnan Samman and Rabee Baghshani do this through digital collage layering together historic and contemporary images to find new meaning, while artists like Maliheh Zafarnezhad and Hani Amra use photography in unexpected ways to challenge our perceptions.
