SPEAKERS:
The opening reception for Revolution Is Female, a solo exhibition by Palestinian artist Rasha Eleyan. The exhibition explores the vital role of the revolutionary Palestinian woman through pop-inflected, photorealist paintings that bring together beauty, symbolism, domesticity, and female defiance. The reception will introduce the exhibition to invited guests, press, artists, collectors, and supporters, offering an opportunity to view the work, meet the artist and co-curators, and engage with the themes of visibility, agency, resistance, and celebration.
