‘Lebanese Archive: Dreamers Against All Odds’ Lecture at Ashkal Alwan

Monday, May 12, 2014
8:30pm -> 11:00pm
Ashkal Alwan

Lebanese Archive: Dreamers Against All Odds introduces Ania Dabrowska’s “Lebanese Archive” project and the work she conducted during her residency at Ashkal Alwan and in collaboration with Arab Image Foundation.

What is the appeal and what are the challenges of working with archives in the contemporary art context? Where does an archive end and ‘real’ life begin?

The lecture exposes the processes and shifting boundaries of expectations connected to the project, and tries to address the key questions by bringing in cultural, political and artistic perspectives encountered through conversations about archives in response to her work.
