- Photographer Rania Matar makes series of portraits: young girls posing, teenagers in their bedrooms and mothers with their daughters. Her subjects all live in Lebanon, where Matar was born, or in Massachusetts, where she now lives. They're all on display at a retrospective at The Amon Carter Museum of American Art. In our weekly State of the Arts conversation, Matar tells KERA’s Anne Bothwell that these women have more in common than you might think.
