Jamelie Hassan: At the Far Edge of Words

Catalogue from the Jamelie Hassan: At the Far Edge of Words exhibition, held at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery from June 18 to August 22, 2010. Since the 1970s, Jamelie Hassan’s work has been influenced by cultural politics, social activism, and her background as a Canadian born to Arab parents. Jamelie Hassan: At the Far Edge of Words was the first survey of the work of this award-winning, London, Ontario artist. The exhibition included over two dozen paintings, drawings, photographs, multi-media installations, as well as the billboard—Because . . . there was and there wasn’t a city of Baghdad. The catalogue includes texts by Melanie Townsend, Scott Watson, Mahmoud Darwish, Dot Tuer, Cliff Eyland, Monika Kin Gagnon, Mireya Folch-Serra, Scott Toguri McFarlane, and Andy Patton.
