Nadine Kanso

Nadine Kanso was born in Lebanon in 1968. She spent her childhood there and later gained two degrees from the Lebanese American University . Nadine majored in Communication Arts and Advertising Design, degrees which laid the foundation for her subsequent forays into many diverse fields of artistic production. Her photo-based work develops the controversial theme of the Arab identity today.

The understood truth that ‘one' s identity changes with how one perceives reality ' was the base of her first solo exhibition in Dubai . And she has taken the notion of identity to a new level, showing how what binds and defines Arabs extends far beyond a single static definition and instead is a constantly changing, dynamic process. Presented was a series of portraits depicting Arabs from across the region with an eclectic mix of artistic, creative and cultural milieus.
