GLOBAL CLIMATE LAB 2 - Your Invitation

Are you a climate scientist or engineer? Then you are invited, wherever you are in the world, to participate in Global Climate Lab 2, a unique, immersive, experiential research lab, “a space for collaboration between climate researchers and artists, taking a ‘deep dive’ into the emotions that are usually sidelined by scientific (Western-disciplinary) methods.” I am excited to be part of Global Climate Lab 2 as one of the ‘artist witnesses.’ For registration or more information: https://climatelab.swansea.ac.uk/global-climate-lab-2/

MINA IMAGE CENTER: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 - 𝗔 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆

I will be giving this workshop at the Mina Image Centre. All details below:

️ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 - 𝗔 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆 with Christine Kettaneh on Tuesday April 4, 2023 – From 4:30 till 7:30 PM 

The house as a center of solitude, boredom and daydream gives us images of intimacy, secrecy, repose, refuge, shelter, stability and adventure - a topography of our intimate being. This workshop invites us to relive our house with poetic reverie and then allow that reverie to create spaces that transcend the house’s geometries.

In this workshop, we will learn some basic ‘cut and fold’ techniques to build ‘collapsible structures’ with paper. We then move beyond those techniques to build our house images.

𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙆𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙝 is a multidisciplinary artist holding a Master of Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (2013). She is also adjunct assistant professor at the Lebanese American University, teaching the foundation program in the School of Architecture and Design.

Who is this workshop for? Open to anyone but preferably those of you who have a creative side.

This workshop is free of charge, registration is required by mail: info@minaimagecentre.org

ESS short film: showcasing the nanoncosmic investigations projects

It is finally out! A short film showcasing the nanocosmic investigations projects. The selected artists (I being one of them :-)) were invited to have conversations with engineers and scientists working at ESS, who are constructing the world's most powerful pulsed neutron source, in Lund Sweden. It was such a meaningful experience investigating how “the neutron scattering can be applied to a range of scientific questions, spanning the realms of physics, chemistry, geology, biology and medicine” but most importantly investigating “the place of the human within these micro-macrocosms.”
