Come celebrate the beginning of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies photography exhibition, gracing the walls of the CMES office space during the 2009-2010 academic year. The imagery embodies the significance of water in the Middle East. As a natural resource, it is scarce; in culture and rituals, it is fundamental; and in politics, it can be divisive. Water is also a source of beauty and, in fountains and by the seaside, of calming sounds. Photos reflect the many natural, cultural and historical dimensions of the footsteps of water in the Middle East. .

Appetizers will be provided by Zayna Mediterranean Café. This event is free and open to the public.
