Mounira Al Solh - I Strongly Believe in Our Right to Be Frivolous

Irony and self-reflectivity are central to Mounira Al Sohl's work, which explores feminist issues, tracks patterns of microhistory, also being socially engaged, political and escapist all at once. In a series of drawings, Al Solh collects personal histories and experiences that merge from humanitarian and political crises in Syria and the Middle East. The more than 150 drawings and embroideries presented here document deeply personal encounters and conversations between Al Solh and Syrian refugees as well as other refugees from the Middle East. Text in English and Arabic.
