SCAD Museum of Art:

Monira Al Qadiri 'Holy Quarter'

Monira Al Qadiri's multidisciplinary practice is rooted in the culture and histories of the Persian Gulf. Her works examine the region's complex past and circumstances that have contributed to rapid change. In Holy Quarter, a film and sculptural installation, she explores the blending of myth and purported fact. The film centers on the exploits of British explorer Harry St. John Philby, who journeyed to the “Empty Quarter” of the Arabian Peninsula in the 1930s in search of the legendary lost region of Ubar, described in local lore as having been destroyed by divine punishment. The exhibit is open now through December 23rd.
