| | NAZAR: Exhibit of “Richly Layered” Arab Photography Tours U.S. |
 | | Cartier-Bresson’s desire to capture the vitality of the moment is the driving force behind “NAZAR: Photographs from the Arab World,” a diverse exhibition of photographic works currently touring the United States. |
 | | Featuring works contributed by 18 contemporary Arab photographers and four photo archives, NAZAR is a complex, fascinating, and deeply personal look at both historic and modern-day Arab cultures in Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. |
 | | “The photos in NAZAR are some of the most powerful and honest images that I have ever seen,” said Aida Ariassi, executive director of the Houston-based Bilateral U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which partially underwrote the cost of bringing the exhibit to the United States. |
