Featuring: Raina Matar
Rania Matar is a Lebanese-American
photographer. Beginning in 2009 and with the help of non-governmental
organizations, Matar taught photography workshops to adolescent girls in
Palestinian refugee camps. She is the recipient of numerous awards,
grants, and honors, including a recent Guggenheim Fellowship (2018), and she
currently teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her
work is exhibited internationally. She
intends to draw connections between her photography and Mohsin Hamid’s novel Exit
West while also considering broadly the artistic response to
humanitarian concerns.
