Festival Les Instants Vidéo becomes
a Museum of solidarity to welcome
8th biennal /si:n/
In praise of the High Shadow
(based on a poem by Mahmoud Darwich, written in 1982 during the siege of Beirut, a poem written after the Sabra and Shatila massacre, read in Algeria in 1983 before the Palestinian National Council.)
From 2 pm to 9:30 pm
Screenings, exhibition, encounters
In 2024, the Palestinian video and performance art biennal /si:n/ (8th edition) is forced into exile. It will be hosted by the 37th Festival Les Instants Vidéo. But it will also be travelling the world, welcomed by other museums of solidarity (in Ethiopia, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Jordan, Lebanon, Canada, USA). Inspired* by the tri-continental, anti-imperialist solidarity movements of the 1960s and 80s, at the crossroads of militant, artistic and museological practices that created a very particular form of museum of solidarity, without walls, and more often than not, museums in exile (in support of the people of Chile, Nicaragua, South Africa and of course Palestine), the A.M. Qattan Foundation and Les Instants vidéo launched a call for solidarity to artists and international organisations.
* Past Disquiet, exhibition curated by Kristine Khouri & Rash Salti
