Jordanian artist taps absurd for 'Camel in the Room'
With iconic imagery such as camels and locks, artist Raed Ibrahim explores the complexities of Middle Eastern identity, memory and the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Raed Ibrahim, a 46-years-old Jordanian artist, works in an eclectic range of formats from abstract oil painting to street signs, to dress and embroidery and found artifacts.
Ibrahim's new exhibit “A Camel in the Room” plays out in four different galleries at Darat al Funun — the Khalid Shoman Foundation's arts complex in Amman — where the artist explores the relationship between objects and memory, truth and storytelling.
