Mounira Al Solh

20 aprile 2024 - 24 novembre 2024

On a beach in Tyre, Zeus takes the form of a white bull to seduce the beautiful princess Europa and deceitfully carry her to Crete shores, where he unites with her. Revisiting the mythology of the ancient Phoenicians, Mounira Al Solh (Beirut, 1978) reconnecs the present to the legend in an unexpected way, proposing an alternative or even inverted interpretation that allows for critical distance and humour. The exploration of Europa’s myth, which the artist invites us to take part in, contributes to the fulfillment of a female destiny freed from gods’ interference, which in modern times translates into a journey towards gender balance and equality.
