Manal Deeb: Metaphors
Informed by her experience growing up under Israeli occupation in Ramallah, the works in Deeb's series act as metaphors for her identity as an Arab-American woman, daughter, mother, and artist living outside of her homeland. The complex layering of self-portrait and Arabic poetry in her paintings expresses memories from her childhood and reflects her ongoing journey of living in exile.
Deeb's multimedia work includes painting, photography, video, calligraphy, and music, among others. Her art has been shown in many solo and group exhibits in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, London, Cairo, Dallas, Boston, Delhi, Rome, Los Angeles and Fairfax, Virginia. Deeb will be present at the exhibition opening to answer questions and meet attendees.
