A PATCH ON MY EVIL EYE
CHALLENGING THE WORN STEREOTYPES TOO OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARAB WORLD.
A showcase of paintings, photographs, prints and sculpture by young artists from the Middle East and Britain, A Patch on My Evil Eye fiercely challenges the worn stereotypes too often associated with the Arab world. Featuring the latest work by Noor Al Suwaidi, Ruba Asfahani, Juan Carlos Farah, Daniel Louis MacCarthy, Hazem Harb and the celebrated Palestinian photographer Yazan Khalili, this exhibition offers a nascent perspective on subjects that are repeatedly misrepresented by the media and misunderstood by the public.
Curated by Juan Carlos Farah, the works are presented through art forms ranging from abstract interpretations of the Middle East’s turbulent socio-political events to figurative insights into the lives of Arabs in London, both in ordinary and extraordinary situations.
Part of the ABC Gallery series of exhibitions promoting artists, photographers and film makers from, working in, or inspired by the Arab world.
Starts 6th May until 26th May 2010
