Mounira Al Solh: I strongly believe in our right to be frivolous

This unique monograph on how migration and displacement, conflict and resistance, continue to shape our world today, presents more than 150 portraits by Lebanese- Syrian artist Mounira Al Solh, who collects personal histories and experiences that have emerged from the humanitarian crises in Syria and the Middle East since 2012. The portraits document individual accounts of displacement, trauma and uncertainty as told to the artist. The book’s title, I strongly believe in our right to be frivolous, references Al Solh’s humorous and self-reflective approach to what are often deeply political urgencies.
