Work by Hassan Hajjaj is included in ARAB POP ART: Between East and West, a group exhibition at the Middle East Institute, Washington, DC. ARAB POP ART is co-curated by Laila Abdul-Hadi Jadallah & Lyne Sneige and is on view from September 12, 2025, through January 23, 2026.
From the Middle East Institute: Arab Pop Art: Between East and West explores the evolution of an art movement that blends Arab cultural motifs and symbols with the visual language of Western Pop art. Emerging in the 1960s, Arab pop art exploded with the rise of social media and new digital technologies in the 2000s. Today, Arab pop artists harness creativity, satire, and a savvy awareness of street culture to comment on social and political issues in the Middle East, while also challenging regional stereotypes.
