Walid Raad – Artist Talk

Talk / Visual Art

In this Artist Talk, Walid Raad, presents, images, stories, and concepts from his three ongoing long-term projects: The Atlas Group (1989-2004); Scratching on Things I Could Disavow; and Sweet Talk: Beirut (Commissions). Raad’s focus remains on how extreme forms of violence affect bodies, minds, culture, art and tradition.

Raad’s presentation will also engage the work of artist, writer and thinker Jalal Toufic, whose book, The Collected Writings (1991-2024) of a Mortal to Death was recently released by No Place Press.
