Translation/Tarjama is a groundbreaking exhibition featuring the works of Middle Eastern artists who explore processes of cultural and artistic translation from different angles. We showcase the work of emerging and established artists, in the Middle East and in the diaspora, who explore the interplay between cultures and societies. Included in the theme is how multiple identities and affiliations are created and challenged, how people and places are connected through economics or politics, how different histories and traditions (including artistic) are interpreted, and the relationship between languages, images, and texts from different sources. |
