Bio: Dr. Ari is the inaugural Beinecke Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. Her research explores the relationships between cultural politics and the development of art institutions, specifically in Palestine and in Turkey. Her current book project, Cultural Mandates, Artistic Missions, and “The Welfare of Palestine,” 1876–1948, explores how radical political transformations from the last decades of Ottoman rule until the establishment of the State of Israel changed the nature of artistic production in Palestine. Her research has been published in Third Text, Arab Studies Journal, and Thresholds. She received her Ph.D. in the History, Theory, and Criticism of Art and Architecture program at MIT. |
