'Glimpses of the Middle East' Reception

A reception hosted by Mark Muller Stuart QC and artist Joseph Maxwell-Stuart.

Following in the footsteps of Orientalist painter David Roberts, Joseph Maxwell Stuart exhibits oil paintings from a Roberts-inspired journey across Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon & Syria. 

Photojournalist Teun Voeten captured revolutionary graffiti and caricatures in Benghazi, Libya this Spring. These images, which appeared in their hundreds,  illustrate how the Arab Spring of 2011 deployed graffiti in its most powerful and political form and how this form of artistic expression was used as a mouthpiece of protest by young men and women willing to risk their lives for an ideal – democracy and freedom.
