Light from the Middle East: New Photography

Light from the Middle East: New Photography presents work by artists from across the Middle East (spanning North Africa to Central Asia), living in the region and in diaspora. The exhibition explores the ways in which these artists investigate the language and techniques of photography. The works range from documentary photographs and highly staged tableaux to images manipulated beyond recognition. The ehxibition is divided into three sections, Recording, Reframing and Resisting, each of which focuses on a different approach to the medium of photography. Among artists are Yto Barrada, Mitra Tabrizian, Bahman Jalali, and others.
