About the Artists
Both artists have been published by En Foco, in Nueva Luz photographic journal.
Palestinian-Iraqi photographer Sama Alshaibi uses her body as a symbol to understand the impact of war and exile, and the implications for her child and future generations.
CLICK HERE for more information on Sama.
African American artist Myra Greene poses the question, “what do people see when they look at me. Am I nothing but black?” Using a photographic process popular during the times of slavery, she creates close-ups of her features to explore perceptions.

Dear Carla,
This is Sama Alshaibi, the artist that you just posted the information about a two-person show. I am wondering if you can fix a misunderstanding on your blog, I am not Palestinian-Israeli (as interesting as that sounds!). I am Palestinian-Iraqi!
Thank you. You are welcome to delete or keep this comment on the site.
Best wishes,
Sama

Thanks for letting me know–I’ve corrected it, but the info I posted came straight from the gallery, so let them know, too, and congratulations on your show!
