Exile and the Mentor-student Relationship: A Force for Resistance and Decolonization
This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.
In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.
View the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library, Tappan Hall, 855 S. University Ave.
