The exhibition themes highlight issues of gender, identity, faith, and politics while also exploring how the past interacts with the present.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9629284702MsoNormal\">From Iranian artist Marcos Grigorian\u2019s nude sketches demonstrating the importance of figural art, to art associated with the Syrian uprisings, it challenges perceptions of the artistic traditions of the region, and through the prism of personal experience, the artists present us with a refracted image of a region.
