RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS NEWS
By TAHLIB

Moroccan artist Batoul S’Himi carves the geopolitical maps of the world into pressure cookers and meat cleavers. Her visually stunning works were recently featured at Rose Issa Projects in London, where she is represented. S’Himi began exploring this idea well before the Arab Spring, and today continues to transform these recycled objects of daily life into tools of resistance. You can find her work in the collections of The National Museum of African Art at the Smithsonian Institution and the Barjeel Art Foundation in the United Arab Emirates. As the world boils, Batoul S’Himi's "World Under Pressure" (above) is my NEWS OF WEEK.
