Iman Issa: Heritage Studies

Thoughtful. Precise. Provocative. Introducing Iman Issa: Heritage Studies — the official exhibition catalog published by Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) to accompany Cairo-based artist Iman Issa’s compelling solo exhibition. Known internationally for her conceptually rigorous practice, Iman Issa explores how meaning is constructed, remembered, and reinterpreted through objects, language, and display. Her work often reimagines historical artifacts and monuments, distilling them into poetic sculptural forms paired with carefully written texts. The result? Art that invites you to question what we preserve, what we value, and how history is told.

Presented at PAMM, Heritage Studies brought together Issa’s distinctive sculptural installations in a powerful dialogue about memory, authorship, and cultural legacy. The exhibition challenged viewers to reconsider the authority of museums and the stories objects carry — making it a resonant and thought-provoking experience within our galleries. This beautifully designed, 96-page catalog captures the depth of the exhibition, featuring insightful contributions by Diane Nawi and Ryan Inouye. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully written, it extends the life of the show beyond the museum walls, allowing readers to revisit Issa’s work again and again.

Smart. Reflective. Unapologetically curious.
Iman Issa: Heritage Studies is more than a catalog — it’s an invitation to rethink history, meaning, and the power of interpretation.
