“Not About Bombs” is an exhibit that addresses how a female perspective can fit into the modern context of turmoil and conflict through art and avoid falling into the typical ways that women are represented... and misrepresented.
The women in this exhibit contribute art that is visually and conceptually accomplished, but unpredictable and emotionally engaging. Because if anything, as a long, drawn-out, mind-numbing war comes to a "close," emotional investments in Iraq are few and far between.
Featured Artists: Sama Alshaibi, Dena Al-Adeeb, Sundus Abdul Hadi, Tamara Abdul Hadi, and Julie Adnan. Sponsored by: Intermedia Arts and the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project (IARP). FFI: Visit www.intermediaarts.org or call 612-871-4444.

Here is a start. Let women tell their story in whichever form they desire. Specifically, tell it through art that speaks an unconventional language, and art that speaks to the cutting-edge nature of contemporary art. Shared here is a platform for a generation of female artists who are undeniably influenced by the aesthetics of conflict and the stereotypes that define them, but not in the least bit limited by them. The 6 women in this exhibit contribute art that is visually and conceptually accomplished, but unpredictable and emotionally engaging. Because if anything, as a long, drawn-out, mind-numbing war comes to a “close,” emotional investments in Iraq are few and far between.
