GENERATION ز - YOUNG ARAB ARTISTS:  NEW YORK

GENERATION ز - YOUNG ARAB ARTISTS: NEW YORK

"This exhibition, as part of the New York Arab Art & Education Initiative, explored Arab culture, politics and tradition as seen from the point of view of young artists using satire, humor and self-analysis. The show, located in a previously historic landmark nightclub, includes artists from Kuwait, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, each with their own distinctive approaches, as they attempt to reclaim the image of “being Arab”. Whether through potent visuals, a subtle revealing of the beauty of tradition, or a candor towards the “now”, these artists act as archivers, witnesses and pioneers of a new era of change."
