    Join us for a reception for Lida Abdul, whose video works are featured in The Architecture of Desire: Part II, currently on display in the I.D.E.A. Space.

    Abdul was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1973. Displaced in 1986 by the Soviet invasion, Abdul lived in India and Germany before moving to the United States. She returned to Afghanistan in 2001; her subsequent video works address issues of war, exile and reconciliation. Abdul earned a B.A. from California State University and an M.F.A. from the University of California at Irvine. Abdul's work was featured last year in "Global Feminisms" at the Brooklyn Museum. A 2006 recipient of the Prince Claus Laureate award for art and activism, Abdul's works have been featured in the 2006 Sao Paulo Biennial, the 2006 Gwangju Biennial, the 2005 Central Asian Biennial and the 2005 Venice Biennale.

    Sponsored by the Robert & Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust, National Endowment for the Arts, NEH Distinguished Professorship and CC's art department and feminist & gender studies.
