Please join us for the sixth in the new NYUAD Art Gallery series CURATORS TALK.
In this talk, Munira Al Sayegh will explore the role of a curator as sociopolitical ambassador. Delving into the various complexities of representing cultures and nations outside their usual contexts, Al Sayegh will discuss how exhibitions can challenge stereotypes and build understanding. Using the exhibition Evaporating Suns: Contemporary Myths from the Arabian Gulf as a case study, Al Sayegh will expand on how different narratives can be built, manipulated, and expanded via the tool of curation.
