ABOUT THE EVENT
Watch the recording of this event.
"Women empowerment through a lens"
The two artists, moderated by Maya, will highlight their different approach to a common concept in a « compare and contrast » discussion.
Sama Alshaibi Iraqui, living in the USA, is a conceptual artist. Her photographs, videos and immersive installations examine the mechanisms of fragmentation in the aftermath of war and exile. They often feature a female figure that references a complex site of struggle and identification and confront an image history of photographs and moving images through a feminist perspective. Sama was featured in solo and group exhibitions around the world and took part in various international Biennale.
Her work is in the permanent collections of several museums, institutions and private collections worldwide.
She is currently a Professor of Photography, Video and Imaging at University of Arizona.
