OTHONI - Public Intervention #3

OTHONI - Public Intervention #3, 7.12.2024 & 8.12.2024       
''TO EACH OTHER, WE ARE EVERYTHING'' by Raafat Majzoub (Lebanon)
 
Raafat Majzoub puts in text a kind of fictional realism about "an Arab world where me and my friends can live and thrive", void of borders, centered on proximity, safety and care. Being forced into diaspora, Majzoub’s narrative is anchored by the figure of the grandmother, as a form of tender power, the one who prays, the one who envisions a living future. Combined with animated architectural plans of Tripoli’s Hammam Al-Nouri, his home city in Lebanon, the artist documents destruction and abandonment, in need of ‘renovating’ the notion of home, family, of togetherness.
