ABOUT THE TALK:

The lovers is an incisive exploration of the dynamics of Beirut in the 1970’s through the projected lives of two of its urban legends: Miss Universe 1971, Georgina Rizk and the PLO’s Ali Hassan Salameh. Using archival material coming from the vibrant print culture of the period, we will attempt to map out the trajectories of two revolutions happening in the same place at the same time, ensuring that neither the city nor the world would ever be the same again.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

His entire body of work, ranging from painting, photography, drawing, digital collage and sculpture to installations revolves around complex historical investigations into the Lebanese Civil War.
