Samia Halaby: Centers of Energy accompanies and expands beyond the upcoming exhibition "Samia Halaby: Eye Witness " opening at the MSU Broad Art Museum on June 29, 2024. Curated by Rachel Winter, the exhibition will be the Palestinian painter Halaby's first American museum retrospective. The volume explores several overlooked aspects of Halaby's life and work, including her Midwest years and her kinetic paintings, in addition to a new essay by the artist herself. The book also contains a comprehensive biography and bibliography that illuminates new aspects of the artist's career trajectory, and paves the way for future scholars to conduct research on one of the most important artists of a generation.
