AROUND THE ARCHIVE
workshop facilitator
Lesser Amman Library
This four-part seminar series offered a critical survey of modern and contemporary art across the SWANA region, tracing the evolution of visual language from early 20th-century colonial mandates to the contemporary post-war era. Central to this program was an experimental, collaborative approach, where I worked alongside participants to collectively deconstruct established narratives and fill archival gaps. This process transformed the sessions from traditional lectures into a shared investigation of how artists navigate political upheaval and cultural identity.
