SUMMARY:Evidence: Photography and Political Disappearance
DESCRIPTION:
 Presented by artist Diana Matar\n
 \n
 Cosponsored 
 by the MSU African Studies Center, the School 
 of Journalism, Muslim Studies Program, Peace 
 and Justice Studies Program, and Global Studies 
 in the Arts and Humanities Program\n
 \n
 Evidence 
 is the accumulation of six years' work 
 on political disappearance by the photographer 
 Diana Matar.  Years ago the artist's father-in-law, 
 a Libyan opposition leader, was disappeared 
 by the Gaddafi regime.  Crafted as an 
 homage to one man, the book shows the cruel 
 effects of dictatorship on intimate relationships 
 and family life.  Ms. Matar will speak 
 about the work and how she went about making 
 the book.\n
 \n
 Diana Matar is an artist working 
 with photography, testimony, and archive. Using 
 image, sound, and text, her bodies of work 
 investigate issues of immigration, urban development, 
 displacement, memory and political 
 disappearance. Her work is held in numerous 
 public and private collections and has been published 
 in the New Yorker, The New York Times, 
 Internazionale, Ojo de Pez, and many other 
 publications, and has been exhibited world wide. 
 An installation of her work Evidence will 
 be showing at Tate Modern 2014 / 2015. \n\n
