Like Ghada Amer and Shirin Neshat, Hatoum has been subjected to something of a local backlash, whereby well-heeled, well-informed art critics, collectors, and curators who are aware of her work here often criticize her there for capitalizing on or exoticizing her "otherness" for the sake of a western market.

Thus, Neshat shows a woman s face with Arabic script tattooed across it, but no translation, while Amer contributes a set of giant sewing boxes, hand-embroidered with a love poem that you cannot read (The Times (subscription)
