    The Beirut Art Residency and Kaph Books are pleased to present Ayla Hibri’s solo exhibition and book launch “A Palm Tree Bows to the Moon.”

    The exhibition juxtaposes photographs capturing archetypes, events, and motifs that serve to inform the spirit as it journeys through different life stages in search of inner wholeness.

    Hibri shows us that by tuning in to the universe’s interventions, patterns and synchronicities, and perceiving them as carriers of symbolic markers, we can be alerted to the mysterious which hides in plain sight, such that order can emerge from the chaos of being.

    These phenomena have meanings which can stretch from the mundane to the cosmic, by virtue of the beholder’s imagination.

    This photographic series proposes a way of looking that acknowledges and unveils the intertwining of the visible and the invisible, of the conscious and unconscious in relation to the self and the environment it dwells in.

    AYLA HIBRI
    Ayla Hibri (b. in 1987 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a visual artist with a BA from the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA) followed by a degree in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). For the last decade Hibri has been in constant travel, shifting environments to maintain a continuum of displacement and discovery. Through the act of walking, exploring, and active observation, she has collected an expansive archive of visual data on the psychogeography of places and aspects of the human condition.

    Hibri has exhibited widely in several galleries, institutions and festivals including Jaou Tunis, Tunisia (2018); 87 Artistes Pour Le Peuple Kurde Paris, France (2016); Red studios, Sao Paolo, Brazil (2015); ISTANBUL’74 gallery, Istanbul, Turkey (2014); Cuadro Gallery, Dubai, UAE (2013); Institut Du Monde Arabe, Paris, France (2013), Thessaloniki Biennale, Greece (2011) and more.
    Hibri’s photographic series have been featured in different publications worldwide including The Guardian, The Wire, Brownbook Magazine, Dazed and Confused, Kaleidoscope and more.
    A Palm Tree Bows To The Moon (published by Kaph Books) is her second book after The Real Prince (published by OODEE).

    BEIRUT ART RESIDENCY
