Public event 29 August: canceled

The public event is hosting Reem Shilleh, Mohanad Yaqubi, and Samah Hijawi (also the curator of this working visit) for an evening of presentations and discussions on their cultural practice across these cities, to get a closer look on the strategies and aesthetics implemented by artists and cultural workers to engage with their contexts. 

Due to practical reasons (visa), this public event is canceled. If you want to stay tuned about the new date, send an e-mail to Lissa Kinnaer.
