Description - Safar Voyage: Contemporary Works by Arab, Iranian, and Turkish Artists by Jill Baird

Contemporary art is now inclusive of geographies that until recently had escaped the attention of Western art centres such as Paris and New York. A vast area commonly referred to as the Middle East constitutes part of an "emerging geography" whose art has finally become globally visible.

The region's artists, however, are neither fixed inside its territories nor permanently diasporic. Often on the move, they define themselves and the world according to their personal visions. Safar/Voyage (voyage being the translation of its equivalent in Persian) is a visual essay, bringing together a selection of these artists and displaying fragments of their itineraries.
