Whether it's Trump, the Beast or aliens, Manar Abdelmaaboud composes odd visual scores through painting, collage, and installation, taking us on a fantastical journey of sociopolitical horrors. She problematizes media, stardom and film as regimes of power. By excavating symbols from sources that range from cartoons through newspapers, Manar's work uses dark humor to open up new critical avenues in her medium of choice.
