Overview
The American-Lebanese artist Walid Raad exhibits a selection of recent works, rooted in the wars that have shaken the Middle East for the past 40 years. A journey through photographs, collages, drawings, texts, sculptures, and videos, commented on by their author.
The work of photographer and visual artist Walid Raad draws on a pivotal moment in history – the years 1982-1983, marked by the occupation of Lebanon, the Sabra and Shatila massacres, and the exile of the Palestine Liberation Organization to Tunis – to explore its contemporary resonances across different spaces and temporalities.
In the guided tours he offers, Walid Raad – both archivist and storyteller – recounts invented, transmitted, or found stories. The artist is familiar with these hybrid formats, a space for reflection on art and history, emotion and memory.
The works he presents today traverse a vast territory – from Lebanon to Tunis via Ljubljana – and encompass war and reconstruction in Lebanon, as well as the history of art in the Arab world.
