Thursday, October 25 – Walid Raad
Walker Arts Center. 1750 Hennepin, Minneapolis MN 55403. 7 pm. Free.



Join artist Walid Raad for a performative lecture on his writing and visual art, which grapples with the representation of traumatic events of collective historical dimensions and the ways that film, video, and photography function as documents of physical and psychological violence. His recent work includes The Atlas Group (1989–2004), a project composed of audio, visual, and literary elements dealing with the contemporary history of Lebanon , particularly the Lebanese wars from 1975 to 1991. Raad teaches at Cooper Union in New York , and his pieces have been shown at documenta 11 in Kassel , Germany , the Venice Biennale, and the Whitney Biennial, among many others. Co-presented with Walker Arts Center.
