We are happy to announce Sama Alshaibi's solo exhibition at Maraya Art Centre in Sharjah. 'Tell It to the River' is a mid-career survey co-curated by Mo Reda and Cima Azzam.
Tell it to the River brings together significant parts of Sama’s practice of the last two decades. The exhibition debuts two commissions; one of them inaugurating Alshaibi's 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship, and the other marking the closing chapter of an eight-year-long photographic series. Following a 40-year displacement, the two new projects mark the return of Alshaibi to her homeland of southern Iraq.
