How contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa interpret their changing world
In short: Join curator Venetia Porter for a guided look at the British Museum exhibition Reflections. This showcase examines how modern creators from the Middle East and North Africa engage with themes of identity, politics, and tradition through their work.
The exhibition, hosted in room 90 and the Albukhary Gallery of the Islamic World, highlights the diverse ways artists process historical and cultural shifts. By exploring topics such as gender and personal identity, these works offer a contemporary lens on a complex region.
The display is made possible through the backing of a specialized acquisitions group focused on modern and contemporary Middle Eastern art.
