Entangled Gaze explores portraiture through various cultural, identity, political, and social lenses. Whether the figures are looking directly at the viewer or leaves them unacknowledged, the evocative portraits challenge the viewer. The artists’ native countries include the Dominican Republic, Ethiopia (East Africa), Morocco (North Africa), Middle East, Netherlands, and United States. Their backgrounds and identities inform the visual narrative of the work.
Participating artists include Wesaam Al-Badry, Adrian Burrell, Melissa Cooke Benson, Lalla Essaydi, Hendrik Kerstens, Aïda Muluneh, Raelis Vasquez, and Philemona Williamson.
