Heba Y. Amin will curate a group show at Mizna and Minnesota Museum of American Art, USA (29/08/2019)


Heba Y. Amin will curate a group show titled ‘History Is Not Here: Art and the Arab Imaginary’ at Mizna and Minnesota Museum of American Art (the M) with Maymanah Farhat. The show will open on September 12, 2019 and present the work of U.S.-based and international artists who engage what can be termed the "Arab imaginary" as a strategy for examining various social, cultural, and political positions. Coinciding with the twentieth anniversary of Mizna’s flagship art and literary journal, the exhibition’s roster is selected from the list of artists highlighted in its pages including Osama Esid, Monira al Qadiri, Walid Siti, and Emily Jacir whose works make connections between contemporary geopolitics and the histories that inform them.
