ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Khaldiyeh’s River Rock Story and Uncle Hanna’s Electric Heart are photo installations that are the centerpieces of the exhibition, along with photographic selections from Kul Shay/All Things and paintings from the Stripes and Stars series. Kul Shay/All Things is a work in progress whose “database” entails the gathering of nearly 4,000 photographs from a six-month sojourn in Beirut, several visits to Syria and a trip to Iran. Stripes and Stars is a series of paintings that follows the tragedy of 9-11 from its inception to the subsequent legacy of American intervention and occupation. Khaldiyeh’s River Rock Story is a narrative installation that is set into a medallion structure. Within the medallion’s decorative space a story unfolds through Khaldiyeh, the storyteller. The photo essay, Uncle Hanna’s Electric Heart, brings to life a personal and private act of transforming a violent and depressing incident into one of self-empowerment.
