ARAB IMAGE FOUNDATION AT LCC
Looking Other Ways: Contemporary Readings of Archival Presences
17 October 2023
A presentation of collaborative research by the Arab Image Foundation and London College of Communication.
How can looking at images of the past help us understand the present?
Hear the artists and researchers of the Arab Image Foundation, Beirut, and artist and London College of Communication Reader in the Political Image, Edmund Clark, discuss how visual research into archives of images, and conversations about what the reading of past framings of the world mean, develop shared understandings of contemporary situations. The Arab Image Foundation members will present the history and future of the foundation in Beirut, and, with Edmund Clark, will discuss how research into the foundation’s archives can contribute to understanding political and social issues.
