"Ever Shot Anyone?"
Measures of Distance (Mona Hatoum, 1988). Compact and poetic, this work describes the pain of cultural separation, using a thin veil of Arabic script to signify the distance between memory and the living history of the artist's dispersed family. (15 mins)Voices of the Morning (Meena Nanji, 1992). A sublime work about a young woman's resistance to the acculturative forces of Orthodox Islamic law. Rejecting the role of dutiful daughter or wife, she seeks a liberated space outside of convention. (15 mins)-Steve Seid
