The Exhibition curated by Diana Wiegersma scrutinizes the scope of Western, as well as Arab, economic and financial interests at stake in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, interests that the recent popular uprisings and concurrent international political gamesmanship and strategic manoeuvring have only made more blatant.

The exhibiton will present works by the following artists: Haig Aivazian (Lebanon), Kader Attia (Algeria), Fayçal Baghriche (Algeria), Taysir Batniji (Palestine), Shahram Entekhabi (Iran), Ninar Esber (Lebanon), Karim Ghelloussi (Algeria), Babak Golkar (Iran), Babak Kazemi (Iran), Bouchra Khalili (Morocco), Majida Khattari (Morocco), Djamel Kokene (Algeria), Ahmed Mater (Saudi Arabia), Leila Pazooki (Iran), Sara Rahbar (Iran), Baktash Sarang (Iran), Sama Al Shaibi (Irak/ Palestine), Oraib Toukan (Jordan) and Hajra Waheed (Saudi Arabia).
