About the Author
Mounira Al Solh (*1978 Beirut, Lebanon) is a multidisciplinary artist, working with painting and drawing, text, embroidery, recorded sound, sculptures, video and performative gestures. Growing up during the Lebanese Civil War in Lebanon, Al Solh's works bear witness to the impact of conflict and displacement in the region. She deals with ongoing social and feminist struggles, while her work can be political and poetically escapist at once. She lives and works between Lebanon and the Netherlands.
Foreword by J. Mohamed Issam El-Mortada, Nada Ghandour.
Includes texts by Karim Bekdache, Nathalie Bondil, Jean-François Charnier, Nada Ghandour, Dirk Snauwaert.
Interviews with Nada Ghandour, Dina Bizri, Mounira Al Solh.
