LAST CHANCE I Kept The Night Vigil …

4 November

Free

Subtitled ‘Exploring Women’s Voices Across and Beyond the Middle East’, this exhibition – curated by Behrang Samadzadegan – is inspired by the evocative poetry of al-Khansa, who eloquently conveyed the nuances of grief, strength, and transformation. Says the gallery: “the exhibition resonates with the timeless spirit of women’s voices in a region marked by rich cultural heritage and contemporary challenges”.

The featured artists offer a variety perspectives on themes such as women’s issues, war, memory, and the natural world. Each piece is a testament to women’s individual and collective experiences in the Middle East, merging personal narratives with broader socio-political commentary.

The artists:

Azza Al Qubaisi, Zeinab Alhashemi, Parinaz Eleish, Ana D’Castro, Shirin Neshat, Melis Buyruk, Naeemeh Kazemi, Katya Traboulsi, Maxi Cohen, Maryam Lamei, Farideh Lashai, Nikki Zarrabi, Areen Hassan, Soraya Sharghi, Stephany Sanossian, Pariyoush Ganji, Shideh Fatemi, Shan Castellino, Azita Panahpour, Shiva Ahmadi
