\n CUAG Panel Discussion: Art and Memory in Lebanon\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

CUAG invites you to join in a free public discussion organized in conjunction with our current exhibitions, Akram Zaatari: All is Well and Art on a Green Line with curator and artists Johnny Alam, Vicky Moufawad-Paul, and Jayce Salloum, moderated by Zainab Amery. The panelists will discuss many of the ideas raised in the current exhibitions, including how art negotiates memory and history, notions of home and exile, personal and collective trauma, and Lebanon\u2019s complex history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Canadian solo exhibition of internationally renowned artist Akram Zaatari, All is Well presents video installations and photography that focus on the act of letter writing. Art on a Green Line features artists of Lebanon\u2019s \u201cWar Generation,\u201d those born or raised during the 1975-1990 civil wars, known in Lebanon as the \u201cAhdeth\u201d (events).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is free and everyone is welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
