Crafting Resistance

Sama Alshaibi’s work ‘The Cessation - Al-Takwir, The Folding Up’ (2019), is currently on view at ASU Art Museum, as part of the ‘Crafting Resistance’ exhibition. ⁠

In this work, Alshaibi brings attention to the aftermath of the United States-led invasion of Iraq, and highlights its impacts on women.⁠

The work amplifies global issues around women’s safety, especially in colonized conflict zones and reflects what the artist refers to as “[her] concerns with vulnerable communities, the aftermath of war and rendering absence into visible form.”⁠
