The Land Promised

The Middle East Center for the Arts (MECA) at Mana Contemporary is proud to present its Chicago debut, The Land Promised. Opening June 22, 2014, the exhibition features the work of six contemporary Israeli, Palestinian, and American artists who live and practice in Israel and the United States. The exhibiting artists Fatma Abu Rumi, Raida Adon, Ofri Cnaani, Eugene Lemay, Manal Mahamid, and David Wakstein confront the plight of geographical and cultural displacement and marginalization, while raising questions on identity and the role of the artist in documenting historical conflict.
