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

Join us this Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm CET for a conversation with me and artist Camila Salame. This conversation is organized by Sumac Space and moderated by Amanda Abi Khalil.

HINDWING AUDIENCE AWARD2.jpg

BERLIN REVOLUTION FILM FESTIVAL →

Red needles, pill-size holes, dried up lumps of resin, empty cones, and a missing scent are only a few of the aesthetic signs of a dead pine tree. “The Hindwing” is my artist response to the bark beetle attack which is signaling an impending forest insect outbreak and threatening to chomp our last green lung.

“The hindwing” has recently been selected for the Berlin Revolution Film Festival. Due to COVID-19 the festival will be live-streamed and my film (which is 15 mins long) will screen on Saturday 4th of April at some point between 8:00 and 9:30 pm (Berlin Time). If it doesn’t conflict with your other online activities I would love it if you join me from the comfort of your homes.

If you watch an hour at least of the festival you can also vote (up to 4 times) for my film to win the Audience award 😉Virtual kisses and hugs to all of you lovely people!
