Art Exhibition
Diversity of Arab and Muslim Diasporas in the U.S. Owise Abuzaid
Lounge
Muslims and Arabs have historically been misrepresented and stereotyped due to misinformation regarding their communities. This art exhibition aims to represent the presence of Arab and Muslim American diasporas in their true diversity, uniqueness, and authenticity.
Having lived through the revolution in Cairo, Owise Abuzaid was tempted to become a photojournalist, but when his Canon EOS 550D was destroyed in a clash on the streets, he turned his attention to abstract views and perspectives using an iPhone. With almost 100,000 followers on Instagram today, and after finishing a program at the International Center Of Photography in New York, he is currently pursuing work in long term personal stories and documentaries.
