大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「Artist Susan Hefuna grew up between Egypt and Germany and describes herself as feeling like a 'foreigner' in both countries. Her work is profoundly influenced by this dual heritage and the internal tensions it creates. She uses photography and creates layered drawings and wooden screens to explore issues of belonging and identity, gender and multiculturalism. This screen incorporates the phrase ‘knowledge is sweeter than honey’ written in Arabic script. The words are largely concealed when viewed up close but become clearer at a distance. Similar window screens (but without text) were traditionally installed in medieval Arab homes to create a boundary between public (male) and private (female) space. 🏛 ‘Knowledge is Sweeter than Honey’ is on display in Room 25 of the Museum. 🔍 Susan Hefuna (b.1962) ‘Knowledge is Sweeter than Honey’.
