Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste, on the occasion of the 9th Biennial of Contemporary Mosaic, is hosting solo exhibitions by artists Shahzia Sikander and Omar Mismar, curated by Serena Simoni and Daniele Torcellini. The exhibitions aim to explore the role of mosaics in contemporary and multidisciplinary artistic practices that address crucial issues related to identity, politics and social tensions today.
Omar Mismar (1986, Lebanon) lives and works in Beirut. He is a multidisciplinary artist who investigates the intertwining of art and politics, the theme of desire and the aesthetics of disaster. Mismar uses photography, video, mosaic, installations and other media to explore social dynamics as well as the daily manifestations and representations of conflict.
