Conference by Lynn Kodeih
27.06.2016
At Saradar Offices
Saradar Collection is organizing a series of conferences for the members of the Saradar Group around its art collection in order to discover some recurring themes in the works of modern and contemporary Lebanese artists.
War Diaries is the second conference in the series around the Saradar Collection.
It proposes to look closely at the different methods used by Lebanese artists to illustrate the quotidian in times of War.
We will focus on processes such as photo albums, diaries, blogs and other approaches to record their personal histories.
Lynn Kodeih is a Lebanese artist based in Beirut. Kodeih works with text, video, and performance to explore science and fiction, the normalization of violence, and past and present mythologies. She is the co-founder of the collective Polycephaly, a place to research and reflect on ideas surrounding the process of art making. She is also a lecturer at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux Arts and Université Saint-Joseph.
