Panel Discussion: Disoriented
Marking the fifth anniversary of the Arab Spring, this collection of art by Middle Eastern and Asian artists examines the smothering blanket of Orientalism.
By allowing diverse artists to share their voices through works in many mediums, this show examines the scope of how the colonial discourse that has shaped Western perceptions of the diverse societies of the Middle East and Asia leaves warped views of these regions today.
Artist and educator Asna Adhami, filmmaker Raghed Charabaty, curator Robin Metcalfe and Professor of History at Dalhousie University Dr. Colin Mitchell facilitate a lively discussion based on these collected works.
