REVISITING THE ARCHIVE IN THE AFTERMATH OF REVOLUTION

2018, Fri, Oct 26 to 2018, Sun, Oct 28

Archiving is not merely documenting. In the aftermath of the Arab uprisings, artists, activists, and others have reverted to archives digging through a past buried under several layers of cultural, political and psychological repression. A symposium about memory, mourning, and forgotten or forbidden narratives.

In lectures, round tables, and films, academics, authors, artists, and filmmakers examine artistic and intellectual articulations of archiving as a political and personal practice.

Conceived together with the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC), in association with Europe in the Middle East and the Middle East in Europe (EUME), curated by Khaled Saghieh
