How Close Could We Get to the Light and Survive?

Non-academic lectures
Oct 6 & 7, 2017

With a series of “non-academic lectures,” Rabih Mroué invites Lebanese artists and writers to reflect upon today’s ongoing eruptions of violence in the region in light of a heavy historical legacy. By using this term, the program highlights its origin from an academic context, yet deploys the format as a strategy of artistic research to question the very authority of institutional restrictions and to investigate the fabrication of truth.

With Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Hoda Barakat, Ahmad Beydoun, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué, Walid Raad, Mounira Al Solh, Akram Zaatari
