Indelible – The Photographs of Lalla Essaydi
| October 10, 2008 | ||
| 9:00 am |
October 10, 2008-January 25, 2009
Frist Center for the Visual Arts
Through her thought-provoking photographs, Moroccan-born artist Lalla
Essaydi confronts the issues of confinement and repression experienced
by many women in Islamic societies. The women depicted in her images,
many of whom are family members dressed in traditional attire, are covered with calligraphic writing. These words break the expected silence, telling stories that speak of Essaydi’s thoughts and experiences, caught between the east and the west, the past and the present.
