CUAG held a free public discussion organized in conjunction with their current exhibitions, Akram Zaatari: All is Well and Art on a Green Line with curator and artists Johnny Alam, TD Fellow in Migration and Diaspora Studies, Vicky Moufawad-Paul, and Jayce Salloum, moderated by Zainab Amery. The panelists discussed many of the ideas raised in the exhibitions, including how art negotiates memory and history, notions of home and exile, personal and collective trauma, and Lebanon’s complex history.
