Rights of Passage Art Exhibit: Opening Reception

Friday, July 10, 2015 - 6:00pm to 9:00pm
The Spinning Plate Gallery, 5821 Baum Blvd. Pittsburgh

“Rights of Passage” is an artistic journey of an American with roots in Palestine, it
is a personal artistic narrative and a political response to thorny issues that prevent
the two cultures from co-existing. In this context the gallery itself becomes a
metaphor. By transforming the space, the language of art becomes a catalyst for
exploration of a peaceful resolution. Even as Israelis and Palestinians contest
over the rights of self determination a globally-recognized national
identity.
