ON VIEW
Don't miss Conversation 7, an exhibition that brings together work by local artist Marcela Pardo Ariza and New York-based artist Farah Al Qasimi. Ariza's practice explores queerness and representation, using photography as a means to reveal the construction of persona and identity-both public and personal. Qasimi's work draws upon her communities in both the United States and the United Arab Emirates. While the artists' exploration of identity originate from very different vantage points, their intersections are what makes this show so interesting. See for yourself!
