Shifting Shores 1
Combined programme
|
IFFR 2012
IFFR is offering a home-in-exile to the Visual Arts Festival Damascus, since it cannot take place in Syria this year.
In the programme Shifting Shores, we present recent video works by artists from different Arab countries. Centring on a net of meaning around the concepts of memory, identity and change, the works represent individual investigations into how history, collective memory and transmitted images and narratives are closely linked to contemporary fast-changing realities.
