Huda Lutfi, a historian, tells stories through an abundance of bodies; bodies that are sometimes functional, decorative and concurrently disposable. She tells of pressures and subconscious presumptions. Her work allows for an exploration of the subliminal connection between power dynamics and the aesthetic. Lutfi’s statements, subtly political and visually magnetic, are reminders of realities that have become almost indiscernible.


Townhouse West is delighted to invite you to its first artist talk with Huda Lutfi following the opening of her exhibition, “Magnetic Bodies”. This talk will take place in the form of a moderated conversation with Lutfi, discussing the works on display in the Townhouse West space and the themes that prompt her work as a historian and a visual artist. The conversation will be in English and Arabic. Open to all.
