[Jan/Feb 2025 issue of Canvas]

Artist Samia Halaby and curator Rachel Winter discuss the artist’s recent exhibition, Eye Witness, at the Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, with Sophie Kazan Makhlouf for Canvas.

Eye Witness (ended 15 December) was the first solo retrospective of artist Samia Halaby’s work to take place at an American museum. Designed by Zaha Hadid, the museum is a jutting and linear structure which stands on the edge of the university campus. Its steel and concrete beams, planes of glass and Corian stand out and also echo the movement and landscape of its surroundings. MSU in East Lansing is where Halaby studied for her MA in 1959–60.
