Season 1, Ep. 3
Abed Al Kadiri (Beirut, 1984), a multidisciplinary artist, majored in Arabic literature and Fine Arts at the Lebanese University. In 2006, he moved to Kuwait, where he worked as an art critic and as director of CAP Kuwait. He is the co-founder of Dongola Limited editions in Beirut. Working mainly with painting, Al Kadiri focuses, on themes such as cultural heritage, occupation, migration and belonging.The exhibition shows two drawings as well as the in situ work ‘it’s not black or white’ conceived for the exhibition ‘How will it end?’. The mural entirely of charcoal is a charred landscape that awaits collective engagement. Using an eraser, the audience is invited to take part in a process of creation through destruction. They tackle the darkness, each with their own efforts, embodying an attempt to correct the paths and choices that we have taken. Whiteness starts to emerge and morph the surface, slowly, to reveal something altogether new.
