Making Art for Whom? Urgency, Cancellation, and Loss

11 December 2024

Department of Near Eastern Studies (Hörsaal) University of Vienna, Austria, and Zoom

Lecture as part of the lecture series "Cultural Heritage in the Middle East and Central Asia"

Nadia Radwan

This lecture is part of the series Cultural Heritage in the Middle East and Central Asia: Conservation and Destruction, which examines critical issues surrounding the preservation and loss of cultural heritage in these regions.

Join us for an insightful lecture by Nadia Radwan, as she explores the intersection of art, heritage, and resilience in the face of cultural destruction. This thought-provoking presentation will delve into the role of contemporary artistic practices in addressing urgency, cancellation, and loss in the Middle East. From craft to counter-archiving and collecting fragments, Radwan examines how these creative approaches contribute to preserving narratives and heritage amidst challenging conditions.
