an exhibition by After School Arab Arts students from John Moffet and Samuel Powell schools

On view: March 13 - April 11, 2025
Opening reception: Thursday March 13; 5 - 9 PM

Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture Gallery is pleased to present Storyburst, an exhibition showcasing artwork made by students from John Moffet School and Samuel Powel School. Over the past months, students at both schools participated in visual storytelling through a multitude of mixed-media projects. They drew visual inspiration from such artists as Iasmin Omar Atta and Diana Al-Hadid, and narrative inspiration from a variety of Arabic folktales. With spirited hand puppets, deftly-drawn comics, miniature sculptures of brave heroes, and much more, this exhibition displays an abundance of student storytelling!
