Zeus took the form of a white bull in order to carry Europa away. In Al Solh's reappraisal, the myth sheds light on the issues and challenges currently facing women, using contemporary artistic and visual means. Ceramics, collages, textiles, drawings and wooden boats echo the imagery of ancient mythology, while also connecting Phoenician lore with contemporary Lebanese culture. The catalog includes extensive illustrations of the 41-piece installation, contextualized by the pavilion's curator, Nada Ghandour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hatje Cantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783775757348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 10.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Mounira Al Soulh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44870695256245,"sku":"9783775757348","price":42.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_015fa00f-30ba-4003-a156-a17c7fd33c2e.jpg?v=1733241058","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mounira-al-solh-a-dance-with-her-myth-9783775757348","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
