Beirut-based artist Mounira Al Solh’s (born 1978) ongoing drawing and embroidery series documents personal experiences of political crises and displacement in Syria and the Middle East.

This catalog includes a selection of her legal pad drawings.

In I strongly believe in our right to be frivolous, memory, conversation, and living monument become a prism through which the artist chronicles how social and political collapse destabilizes our most fundamental understanding of border, place, and nation while at the same time unearthing the lived and legislative dimensions of immigration that deeply affect today’s global political landscape.
