Lebanese artist Walid Raad (Chbanieh, 1967) will introduce his two long-term ongoing art projects, The Atlas Group (1989-2004) and Scratching on things I could disavow (2007-). With The Atlas Group, Raad concentrates on documents, stories, and situations about the Lebanese wars of the past few decades. In Scratching on things I could disavow, his attention shifts to the history of art in the Arab world, with a focus on the emerging infrastructures for the arts throughout the Arab world.
