UPCOMING EVENTS

Opening Reception—Rania Matar: SHE
Thursday, February 13, 2025, 5:30 PM
Mahaney Arts Center, Lower Lobby and Museum
The photographs of Lebanese Palestinian American artist Rania Matar tell the stories of young women through portraits taken throughout Lebanon, France, Egypt, and the United States. Photographed through car windows, in abandoned buildings, snow-strewn fields, or floating in the Mediterranean Sea, the women collaborate with Matar, sharing a sense of creative agency. These large-scale color photographs portray individuality intimately tied to the histories and connections of place.
The panel discussion portion of this event has been canceled due to artist travel and winter weather. However, the reception will still go on as scheduled, from 5:30–7:00 PM. See the new exhibition, enjoy hors d’oeuvres in the lobby (cash bar), and learn about the exhibit from Curator of Collections and Director of Engagement Jodi Rodgers.
