Listen "Aseel AlYaqoub | Research based artist"
Episode Synopsis
Aseel AlYaqoub is a research-based, interdisciplinary artist and writer whose work spans drawing, printmaking, video, sculpture, and installation. Her practice interrogates the complexities of national identity and post-colonial states. Through archival engagement and critical inquiry, AlYaqoub explores how political narratives and cultural memory are shaped, using her work to question inherited state-building methodologies and challenge established historical representations.In this episode, we are exploring the idea of identity - cultural vs. national and discussing the role of the artist - is it just to visually transform ideas or is it also to seek solutions? How can one understand her or his heritage and history better through art as a tool?Social Media:InstagramYouTubeCredits:Host: Ksenia GraovacProject Coordinator: Farah OmraniEditing: Mohamed AminDesign: Mariam MandaniProduced by: Promenade Culture Centre 2024ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
