SAMIA A. HALABY
"The Revolutionary Art of the Palestinian Intifada"

Samia Halaby was born in Jerusalem, but emigrated in the late 1940s with her
family to escape Israeli terrorism. She was educated in the U.S. (including
two fine art masters degrees) and has lived most of her life here, though
Palestine as subject matter enters into her abstract artwork as well as her
politically explicit art. Samia has taught at more than half-dozen
universities & art institutes and been exhibited in solo and group shows
throughout the U.S., Europe & Middle East. Her work is featured in the
collections of numerous museums here & abroad, and she is an extensively
reviewed artist. Samia has published one book, 'Liberation Art of Palestine'
(2002).

Our guest has dared to compare the art of the Palestinian "Intifada" to that
of the Russian Revolution. This most interesting thesis will be discussed,
with artwork projected, in a highly anticipated Sunday forum.
