Exhibition "Middle-East Diaspora Inside/Outside" - When Art Becomes Refuge and Connection
Curated by Marina Girardi
Millon Auction House proudly hosts the group exhibition "Middle-East Diaspora Inside/Outside." This exhibition delves into the captivating world of artists hailing from the Middle East who have migrated across the globe while maintaining a deep connection to their roots and local sources of inspiration.
"Middle East Diaspora Inside/Outside" sheds light on the notion of diaspora but with a unique perspective. Here, diaspora isn't only confined to artists who have emigrated to France and Germany but also encompasses those who have immigrated to peaceful neighboring countries. This includes Syrians settled in Lebanon, Lebanese in the Gulf countries, Iraqis in Egypt, and many other artists from the region who left their homelands in search of a better future.
This group of artists, regardless of their location, remains profoundly attached to their countries of origin. Their works continue to draw inspiration from local events, traditions, and the realities of their homelands. They may live elsewhere, but their spirits remain anchored in the streets, colours, and stories of their native lands.
For these artists, art becomes a refuge, a means of preserving and expressing their cultural identity while connecting with the outside world. Their creations serve as bridges between their diaspora experience and the international audience. Each artwork is an open window to a world rich in cultural diversity and unique perspectives.
"Middle East Diaspora Inside/Outside" invites you to immerse yourself in the creative universe of these visionary artists who embrace the duality of their existence, both inside and outside their homelands. You will discover a variety of art forms, profound artistic expressions, and inspiring messages that transcend borders and distances.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore how art becomes a means of communication with the outside world and how the Middle East diaspora continues to nourish the creative souls of its artists. This exhibition takes place from October 20th to 27th at the Millon Middle-East Department, 5 Avenue d'Eylau, 75016 Paris.
