Mounira Al Solh: 'A Land as Big as Her Skin', at Arnolfini
The Architect, 16 Narrow Quay, Bristol, GBThe Mounira Al Solh exhibition will have been running for a couple of months by the time we visit together, but then as we always say, art's best seen when it's seen together. And it's a brilliant exhibition to experience.
Al Solh, born in Beirut and now working in the Netherlands and Lebanon, presents at Arnolfini a gorgeous exhibition comprising ceramics, paintings, sculptures, installation pieces, fabrics and a variety of materials in stunning colours, but which conceal often particularly dark and uncomfortable stories, about migration, gender, inequality and identity.
Together, we'll be exploring the show and as always will have some time before and afterwards to talk about the work and how we each feel about the exhibition.

12pm: We'll meet at The Architect, right next to the Arnolfini. Please arrive at any point over the hour.1pm: We'll head into the Arnolfini and congregate in the reception/lobby area before heading around the exhibition and space.
