SUMMARY:In Conversation: Sophia Al-Maria and Arbella Bet-Shlimon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with artist Sophia Al-Maria in conversation with University of Washington Williams Family Endowed Associate Professor in History\, Arbella Bet-Shlimon. Al-Maria is a Qatari-American artist\, writer\, and filmmaker whose current Henry exhibition\, Not My Bag\, interrogates histories of colonial authority in contemporary culture. Bet-Shlimon’s teaching and research focuses on the politics\, society\, and economy of twentieth-century Iraq and the broader Persian Gulf region\, as well as Middle Eastern urban history.\nThrough sharing of personal stories and literary\, journalistic\, and scholarly references that have been crucial to their work\, Al-Maria and Bet-Shlimon will explore how historical fiction and a critical study of histories can be acts of dissent while looking toward global social change.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\n\nSophia Al-Maria has had solo exhibitions at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art\, Qatar; the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art\, Moscow; the Tate Britain\, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; among other institutions. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art\, London; LUMA Arles\, France; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Toronto; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; the New Museum\, New York; the Palais de Tokyo\, Paris; and the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art\, Beijing; La Biennale di Venezia\, Venice\, Italy; and numerous other venues. She has been writer in residence at the Whitechapel Gallery\, London. She is the author of three books: Sad Sack (Book Works\, London\, 2019)\, Virgin with a Memory (Cornerhouse Publications\, Manchester\, 2014)\, and The Girl Who Fell to Earth (Harper Perennial\, New York\, 2012).\n\nArbella Bet-Shlimon is a historian of the modern Middle East. In her research and teaching she focuses on the politics\, society\, and economy of twentieth-century Iraq and the broader Persian Gulf region\, as well as Middle Eastern urban history. Among others her teaching has been recognized by the UW’s Distinguished Teaching Award. Bet-Shlimon’s first book\, City of Black Gold: Oil\, Ethnicity\, and the Making of Modern Kirkuk (Stanford University Press\, 2019)\, explores how oil and urbanization made ethnicity into a political practice in Kirkuk\, a multilingual city that was the original hub of Iraq’s oil industry.

SUMMARY:Diana Al-Hadid: Archive of Longings:  Exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Diana Al-Hadid’s work explores the interplay between the female body and the European art canon; Syrian\, Muslim\, and immigrant histories and mythologies; and architectural icons and the natural world. Born in 1981 in Aleppo\, Syria\, and raised in Cleveland\, Ohio\, Al-Hadid creates artworks that speak to her interest in the melding of cultures and the translation of disparate narratives. This monographic exhibition will consist of a selection of 13 sculptural works made between 2010 and 2021 brought into interpretive grouping for the first time. Together the sculptures identify the artist’s investigation of historical\, mythological\, and biblical narratives of women as a fundamental through-line of her practice.\nWhile Al-Hadid’s work is often interpreted primarily in relation to her interest in the art historical canon\, this show situates the artist’s deployment of these influences as advancing a network of feminist concerns: the female protagonist and its conflicted history\, as well as women’s agency\, power\, and identity. The title refers to the artist’s ongoing interest in the incomplete nature of collective history and the palimpsest of narrative and information that constructs our sense of history; it also resists the monumentalizing (and ultimately\, patriarchal and colonialist) idea of fixity and singularity. Instead\, Al-Hadid foregrounds disruption and rupture in the endlessly woven fabric of our stories of self/the body\, the migration of information and interpretation through space and time\, and the fundamentally unfixed nature of human desire.\nThe exhibition is held in conjunction with the Feminist Art Coalition (FAC)\, a nationwide initiative of art projects that seek to generate cultural awareness of feminist thought\, experience\, and action.\nA brochure with a curatorial essay\, alongside installation images\, will accompany the exhibition.

SUMMARY:In Plain Sight:  Various Artists including Hayv Kahraman (Iraq\, born 1981)
DESCRIPTION:This gallery is closed due to COVID-19 until further notice.\n\nThis group exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives\, communities\, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space (both conceptually and literally defined). The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions\, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors and direct documentation; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race\, ethnicity\, or class; explorations of coded language for protection\, secrecy\, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor\, exploitation\, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal\, oblique\, or fantastical frameworks.\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition expands into the entire museum\, including interstitial/transitional spaces\, and activates external sites through programs\, performances\, and community partnerships. Site becomes a material through which what we have heretofore considered the complete\, authoritative story is expanded and retold.\nParticipating artists: Sadie Barnette (U.S.\, born 1984)\, Sanford Biggers (U.S.\, born 1970)\, Andrea Bowers (U.S.\, born 1965)\, Tom Burr (U.S.\, born 1963)\, Fiona Connor (New Zealand\, born 1981)\, william cordova (Peru\, born 1971)\, Beatriz Cortez (El Salvador\, born 1970)\, Hayv Kahraman (Iraq\, born 1981)\, Nicole Miller (U.S.\, born 1982)\n\n\n\nHenry Art Gallery\nNovember 23\, 2019 – April 26\, 2020*
