Artist Meets Archive #2: Archives, Orders, Accesses - A Workshop Talk with Yasmine Eid-Sabbagh
Tuesday, 11 August 2020, 7 pm
Artist Yasmine Eid-Sabbagh is currently a guest at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum as part of the Artist Meets Archive residency program of the International Photoscene Cologne. This evening she will be in conversation with Lucia Halder (curator of the Historical Photo Archive at the RJM) and Aneta Rostkowska from the Temporary Gallery. Centre for Contemporary will talk about her work and give an insight into her preoccupation with (colonial) archives.
Participation is free of charge, please register at info@photoszene.de. The event is in German and will take place in DIE BAUSTELLE, the Open Space of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum Kulturen der Welt, Cäcilienstraße 29-33, 50667 Cologne. All necessary hygiene and safety measures regarding COVID-19 will be taken care of at the event. As a visitor, please remember to wear mouth-nose protection.
Yasmine Eid-Sabbagh studied history, photography and visual anthropology in Paris. In 2018, she received her PhD from the Institute for Art Theory and Cultural Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. She has been a member of the Arab Image Foundation since 2008.
She combines research, conversational, visual and (meta-) archival practices to reflect on the agency of photographs in the field of collectivity and power. One of her long-term projects seeks to explore the impossibilities of representation through a process of negotiation around a potential digital archive compiled in collaboration with the residents of Burj al-Shamali, a Palestinian refugee camp near Tyr, Lebanon.
