A land as big as her skin in the Bonnefanten is the first major solo exhibition of Mounira Al Solh (Beirut, 1978) in the Netherlands.

The exhibition features recent and new works by this versatile Lebanese-Dutch artist including her acclaimed contribution to the Lebanese Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2024) and part of her work for the Artes Mundi Prize in Cardiff (2023).

‍

For this exhibition, Al Solh is creating several large new works. The exhibition reflects on a world where power abuse and oppression leave deep marks. Al Solh explores themes such as identity, migration, trauma, and inequality, influenced by factors like gender, origin, and social class.
