  • Speaking, Remembering, Dreaming

    • Tuesday, November 23 7:30pm

    Works by Walid Ra'ad, Jayce Salloum, Senab Sedira, and Jalal Toufic enact personal rituals and investigate political realities, as the survivors of years of conflict in the Middle East share their multifaceted stories.

  • Mortal Tissue: Beirut's Cinema of the Vulnerable Body

    • Thursday, November 18 7:30pm

    Introduced by Laura U. Marks. Three works from Lebanon consider mortality, of the body and the image. Roy Samaha layers mass-media images; Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joriege offer an exquisite work that embodies the process of mourning; and Mohamad Soueid's experimental documentary investigates a death with irreverent tenderness.
