Archiving the Public. Reading the Walls

Panel

The two curators Abir Boukhari from Damascus and Elke Krasny from Vienna will discuss their exploration of 2013 public space in the Medina of Tunis. Abir Boukhari presents her photographs and mappings of small details that reveal secrets about the city, the people, their beliefs, their pains, and their struggles. Elke Krasny shares her ongoing curatorial research on informal messages. Since 2004 she has created a personal archive of global public writings on labour, political struggles, or poetry.
