Summary: "It seems that the infatuation with the image runs deeper than expected, especially in places where, stereotypically, one would think it is strictly shunned. The evidence to this comes in the form of 'Basically Human', a thought-provoking photo exhibition by fifteen young artists from Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, and the Gulf countries... these young men and women, students and graduates of the American University in Dubai, bring to the fore the profound issues and questions which comprise their daily search for a reinvented identity that attempts to escape the labels inflicted on it by both East and West"--Introduction.
