Contemporary art production in Arab countries still remains largely
unexplored. Often general and trite assumptions are made
distinguishing between East and West, Arabic-Islamic and
Western-Christian civilisation, without addressing each culture's
specific characteristics in appropriate ways. Aware of the fact
that the reception of art from these countries calls for a new
approach, the museum for contemporary art, MARTa in Herford,
Germany, has invited nine female artists from Libya, Tunisia,
Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran and Iraq to share their work. They
all came to the West as university students or exiles, and most of
them never returned to their homes. This exhibition focuses on
their works of art and devotes ample space to the particular
biographical and national details in the lives of these women. The
diversity of their artistic styles links many different aspects,
reflecting on the concept of cultural boundaries, and the crossing
of those boundaries, as well as the on-going conflicts and upheaval
in their home countries.
