Akram Zaatari: Everything Will Be Alright

March 21, 2012 12:00pm-6:00pm       Add to my calendar

This event occurs daily through April 08, 2012.

The MIT List Visual Arts Center is pleased to present an exhibition of the work of artist Akram Zaatari (b. 1966, Saida, Lebanon). Referring to his artistic practice as field work, the artist addresses historical, social, and political conditions of violence and conflict, particularly within the history of postwar Lebanon. The artists photography and video-based work are an ongoing investigation into the state of image-making in situations of war, and the desire and memory contained in historical, archival, and personal narratives. Along with engaging the legacy of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) and the continued violence and instability in the region, Zaataris work also focuses on representations of desire and intimacy.

Gallery Hours: Tues-Wed: 12-6PM; Fri-Sun: 12-6PM; Thurs: 12-8PM; closed Mondays and major holidays.
