2006 - 2008

Wafaa Bilal presented The Human Condition series at museum of contemporary photography’s Midwest Photographers Project. The work will be at the museum for next two years.

Here is what Kendra Greene, Manager of Collections, has to say abut the work. “Wafaa Bilal’s unabashedly political art seeks to provoke. His images of suffering, repression, distortion, and excess draw on symbolism and surprise to make their point, but even as they press the allegorical towards the surreal, their intent to raise issues and spark dialogue remains consistently clear. The pictures range formally from the very painterly to the exactingly photographic and occasionally include the artist as subject.” For more info please visit the MoCP web site. http://mocp.org/collections/mpp/bilal_waafa.php


March 24th, 2006 - May 5th, 2006

Wafaa Bilal presented prints from The Human Condition series at DETAINE/ group show.

An Arab American & Asian American exhibition aimed to bring two communities together around issues of race, exclusion & spirituality. Chaplain James Yee, born and raised in New Jersey, chose to convert to Islam after serving in the US Army during the Gulf War, several years before being secretly arrested while serving at Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on allegations of espionage. He was detained for 76 days before all criminal charges were dropped. Aside from the issues raised by this incident, are the underlying spiritual questions – an American, and an Asian American, graduate of West Point who chooses to convert to Islam. It is this personal narrative that may enable people to relate to each other, not just intellectually with information and knowledge but to see and encounter each other in a different light. (see for more info www.justiceforyee.com ) Organized by Rabab Abdulhadi, Director, Center for Arab American Studies, U of Michigan, Mariam Ghani, Chitra Ganesh, Lina Pallotta, Wafaa Bilal, Dorothy Imagire, Trong Nguyen, Rene Yung & Robert Lee, exec.dir of AAAC. Panel talks, etc are projected. for more information please visit Asian American arts center web site: http://www.artspiral.org/calendar.html
