Dena Al-Adeeb with moderation and introduction by Salwa Mikdadi and Maya Allison
Join us in the Reading Room on Monday, May 5, at 5 PM for a lecture-performance by Dena Al-Adeeb, a Resident Fellow at al Mawrid Arab Center for the Study of Art.
An Archive of Future Memories is a multimedia project about a mother-daughter charting the interconnections between a trilogy of displacements and their relationship to pivotal moments in contemporary Iraqi and U.S. histories, and their ever-evolving effect on intergenerational relations. In this lecture-performance, Dena Al-Adeeb weaves performance, biography, letter-writing, video, and sound art towards bearing witness to the textures of memories that accompany transnational migration and refugee movement — both the trauma and hope.
This event is presented in collaboration with al Mawrid Arab Center for the Study of Art.
