Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme “Prisoners of Love: Until the Sun of Freedom” at The Bell Gallery, Providence

The Bell Gallery at Brown University is presenting "Prisoners of Love: Until the Sun of Freedom," a new exhibition by internationally renowned sound, video, and installation artists Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme. The show is co-curated by Kate Kraczon, Director of Exhibitions and Chief Curator of the Brown Arts Institute (BAI) / The Bell, and Thea Quiray.

This exhibition matters because it brings the work of two significant contemporary artists to a prominent university gallery, highlighting the ongoing relevance of sound and video installation in addressing themes of love, freedom, and political struggle. The collaboration between the artists and the curatorial team at Brown University underscores the institution's commitment to presenting cutting-edge, socially engaged art.
