Have You Ever Killed a Bear? or Becoming Jamila at Ashkal Alwan

As part of the Home Work 6 Platform, Ashkal Alwan is hosting a lecture-performance by Marwa Arsanios called “Have You Ever Killed a Bear? or Becoming Jamila”.

“Have You Ever Killed a Bear? or Becoming Jamila” is a lecture-performance that departs from the artist’s reading of Al-Hilal magazine from the fifties, and slowly transforms into a literary tale where Arsanios embodies iconic characters, such as Jamila, who inhabited the magazine and haunted the epoch. Voices collide and stories clash.
