Join Morad Montazami, °Õ²¹³Ù±ð’s Adjunct Research Curator on a unique journey through °Õ²¹³Ù±ð’s collection, across Lebanon, Iran and Syria. With special focus on works by artists including Saloua Raouda Choucair, Kader Attia and Ibrahim El-Salahi , discover how the artists’ own poetic journeys and visual experiments can reveal and inspire new readings of modernism and contemporary art around the Mediterranean and the cosmopolitan Middle East. Between aesthetics and politics, we explore not only how these works reflect regional issues and subjectivities but also how they interact with the context of international art in °Õ²¹³Ù±ð’s collection.
