Ibraaz Reader 009/05
Continuing our investigation into the genealogies of performance art, Ibraaz is pleased to announce the publication of new Platform 009 content including an essay that considers the 'online performances' of terrorist imagery by Doa Aly, and a portrait of revolutionary composer Halim El Dabh by Fari Bradley.
We also publish in-depth discussions with artists Helene Kazan and Urok Shirhan (who also presents a commission for Ibraaz Projects), alongside an original project by Adham Faramawy. We are also pleased to release new Channel content by Fayçal Baghriche and Hiwa K., with further reviews and reports from Beirut, Cairo, and London.
