Isaac Blease, Dexter Davey, Sumiah Salloum, and Asiya Al Sharabi

Isaac Blease's project comprised of photographs and micro videos taken in Charmland, an abandoned country club in the hills of Lebanon.

Since its closure in 2006, following Lebanon's conflict with Israel, Charmland has become inhabited by migrant workers, refugees, skateboarders and a garbage municipality.

Isaac’s work shows an alternative and diverse space, with multiple uses and users, forming an undercurrent of coexistence.

At Open Studios Dexter Davey exhibited the piece 'Bearing West 4 Eva', a semi-interactive moving image work that depicts a skateboarder forever rolling toward an eternally setting sun.

Yemeni artist Asiya Al Sharabi started her career as a photojournalist then shifted to the art scene to capture the detailed and descriptive.

She faced many challenges during her career as a photographer, but she has also turned her lens to art photography in an effort to capture the energy and personality of Arab women.

When she encountered women in the Bekaa valley that refused to be photographed, Asiya moved the lens of her camera to capture their feet instead.

She uses a self developed technique that expresses and focuses not only on aesthetics, but also on the underlying struggles of women around the world.
