The School of Art, Art History & Design's Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series brings notable artists, scholars, and designers to Nebraska each semester to enhance the education of students. Each lecture takes place at 5:30 PM in Richards Hall Room 15. The lectures are free and open to the public.
Yousri is a visual artist, filmmaker, and art educator. He relies on humor and sarcasm as a tool that can reach different audiences from diverse cultures, which allows him to criticize common stereotypes and taboos.
Yousri's work investigates issues related to the relationship between form and representation in the context of the exhibition space and public space. Some of the venues that featured his work include the Museum of the Moving Image in New York; Centre Pompidou in Paris; Sharjah Art Foundation, United Arab Emirates; Mathaf: the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar; l'Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris; the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich, Germany; and Institut Valenceia d'Art Modern in Valencia, Spain.
