Like Every Leaving Wasn’t a Country

Like Every Leaving Wasn’t a Country presents a comprehensive look at Yemeni-American artist and filmmaker, Ibi Ibrahim. Spanning a decade of his career, this diverse selection includes portraiture, staged self-portraits, still lives, subtle darkroom experimentations and moving images, all of which bring viewers into proximity with the interconnected poetics and politics of Ibrahim’s expansive practice, one that is always leaving a gesture behind, only to rediscover its roots in personal experience, historical narratives and a unique visual language developed alongside societal changes in Yemen.
