The lecture would tackle this topic: Should Art be an archiving / documenting tool of this particular era? And why? And to whom would it be addressed? I will try in this lecture to answer those questions through my recent body of work.
Mohamed Al Mufti (b.Damascus, 1976) is an artist, architect and a professor at Alba (Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts).
His recent body of work extends the political and social representations of “Anamnèse”, the solo exhibition held in Paris in winter 2020. The large scale paintings provoked and questioned Damascus’s collective memory and its vestiges by deconstructing and reinterpreting its inherited meanings and symbols.
