Enjoy the MEI Art Gallery’s latest exhibition Arab Pop Art: Between East and West at this week’s Art Walk Dupont First Friday Open House from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. The evening program includes an art talk at 6:30 pm featuring participating artist Marwan Chamaa in conversation co-curators Lyne Sneige and Laila Abdul-Hadi Jadallah about his practice blending pop-art aesthetics with Middle Eastern themes. The art talk will be followed by a gallery tour with the curators.

Featuring 14 artists from the Arab world and its diaspora, Arab Pop Art: Between East and West explores the emergence of Arab Pop art as a bold fusion of cultural identity and global visual language that highlights a vibrant, evolving, and cosmopolitan Arab identity.
