The Middle East Institute's Arts and Culture Center is pleased to host an art talk with renowned Palestinian artist and photographer Rula Halawani, whose work is featured in MEI's current exhibition More Than Your Eyes Can See.
Halawani is one of the Middle East region's most established photographers, garnering a special mention in the Washington Post review of MEI's current photography exhibit. Halawani will be in conversation with the exhibition curator Laila Abdul-Hadi Jadallah about her evolving practice, the themes driving her vision, as well as her role in nurturing a new generation of Palestinian multimedia artists and what this means to the up and coming Palestinian art scene.
More Than Your Eyes Can See features the work of 15 photographers from the Arab world and its diaspora exploring a wide range of topics from the devastating effects of climate change to notions of public space, identity and LGBTQ+ communities. The exhibition is organized in partnership with Tribe, a non-profit publication and platform focused on documenting photography, film and video from the Arab world.
