ACAW Presenter - Lamia Joreige

Conversation with Leeza Ahmady

Lamia Joreige uses archival documents and fictitious elements to reflect on the relation between individual stories and collective History. She explores the possibilities of representation of the Lebanese wars and their aftermath, and Beirut, a city at the center of her imagery. Her work is essentially on Time, the recordings of its trace and its effects on us. Possibly followed by an interview with Leeza on the use of language and text in Lamia's practice. Sponsored by Taymour Grahne Gallery.
