Description
Celebrating the diversity of expression, media, styles, and ideas in contemporary Arab-Canadian artistic practice, this important new book profiles the work of 26 Arab-Canadian artists. It addresses themes such as cultural cross-pollination, identity, and the meaning of "home" in essays by artists, critics, and scholars. This lavishly illustrated book raises the profile not only of the Arab-Canadian contribution to Canada's arts scene, but also of the immigrant experience, and the way this experience has been translated into works of undeniable impact.
