Azade Köker included in the exhibition Women Defining Women at LACMA (03/07/2023)
The exhibition Women Defining Women in Contemporary Art of the Middle East and Beyond presents 75 works by women artists who were born or live in what can broadly be termed Islamic societies. Their art depicts a breadth of inventively and often ideologically conceived women’s imagery, bearing witness to rapidly shifting political developments and often accelerated social transformations taking place in lands extending from Africa to Western and Central Asia, as well as in diasporic communities. Their powerful narratives are embedded in their art, expressing both personal and universal concerns. The exhibition, curated by Linda Komaroff, will run from April 23 to September 24, 2023, in the Resnick Pavilion of Lacma.
