Back in NYC for a few days and I didn’t want to miss @dolbylabs’s #dolbysoho’s mega exhibit w/ scenes and sounds of the most celebrated movies of 2018. If you know me, you know I watch at least 50 films in big screens every year, so this is a very cool experience for anyone who loves a good movie. The Contenders exhibit is open until Sunday, it’s free and there’s more up in the stories and in the link on bio. #ad
My tales from the Middle East are up now @cultured_mag and my site too 🇱🇧🌟🇦🇪 installation is #solaroca by #opavivara x #artdubai
Thousands of garments from refugees in the never ending cycle of Bangladeshis looking for freedom #kamruzzamanshadhin @dhakaartsummit @concrete.ae 💔💔
More faves from @artdubai, mostly Middle Eastern artists, some of them new and fresh to my eyes and my ❤️: #sarahalabdali #rashedalshashai #hamraabbas #kathleenryan #maryamhoseini #walidraad #abdulrahmankatanani #hodatakawol #amirkhojasteh ❤️🔥🌴🇦🇪
Palestinian artist #Ranasamara’s series “War Games” @zawyeh @artdubai really moved me. She lives in Ramallah and has been working with Syrian children refugees as well as Palestinian kids who have been injured during the war or suffered other losses. The first painting is about the prosthetic legs that some of them have to wear, the second is her own recollection as a child while playing Super Mario Bros and her house was occupied and ransacked by the military but she didn’t want to “lose a life” in the video game, the third is a room built with legos that a child told her he wanted to create to escape reality. As a mom, I can’t fathom what it would be like for those kids to lose a limb, a house, a parent, a dream. These paintings shrunk my heart. #PERSPECTIVE 💔
