Constructing Identities: Recent Works by Jananne al-Ani

November 21, 1999 - February 28, 2000

Museum: Sackler Gallery

Location: First Level, Special Exhibition Space

On view are two pairs of large-format photographs and a related video by contemporary artist Jananne al-Ani (b. 1966) that address Orientalism, and in particular the representation of women, which has played a central role in perpetuating many of the misconceptions about the Islamic Near East, some still prevalent today.
