There Where You Are Not brings together the writings of Kamal Boullata, celebrated Palestinian artist and theorist. Produced over four decades of exile in Europe, North Africa, and the United States, the experience of exile and imperatives of resistance permeate the essays, whose subjects range from autobiography to contemporary art, early ruminations on gender relations, language and the visual, to questions of identity and globalization. Taken collectively, the writings explore intersections between aesthetics, history, and politics that are central to the historiography of modern Arab art.
