2 x 2 Solos: Wafaa Yasin

October 30 - November 30 at Pro Arts' gallery.

Artist's Talk and Catalogue Release Party: Friday, November 16, 6pm

2 x 2 Solos is a series of solo exhibitions featuring new work commissioned from four accomplished emerging artists based in the Oakland/Bay Area. The program recognizes artistic excellence and supports the freedom to create challenging and noncommercial work.

2 x 2 Solos: Wafaa Yasin brings together two evolving projects that began as site-specific video performances: We All Belong… Show more to the Same Line (2011/2012) and Let's say that this was a Mountain (2012). The locations in Yasin's works act as dual referents, shifting from the San Francisco Bay to the Mediterranean Sea and Galilean Hills. Yasin's body is at the crux of these works, as a site of contestation and struggle, which she uses to explore the relationship between politics, place, and identity.
