Addressing questions of war, displacement, and genocide through artistic interventions, this event offers an evening on art and dialogue. The program includes an art exhibition from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., followed by a discussion moderated by Hiba Bou Akar from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Bou Akar, an expert in urban planning and conflict, will lead a discussion on how cities and communities navigate post-conflict spaces. The participating artists, Maha Al-Daya, Mohamad Hafeda, and Nathalie Harb, use their work to explore themes of identity, spatial justice, and the resilience of communities affected by war and displacement. Moderator Hiba Bou Akar, Fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination, is an Associate Professor in the Urban Planning program at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University in New York City. She has founded and leads Columbia’s Post-Conflict Cities Lab. Bou Akar is the author of the award-winning book, For the War Yet to Come: Planning Beirut’s Frontiers (2018). She is currently working at the Institute on Sedimentary Urbanization: The Afterlives of Dead Geographies, a book project that investigates how low-income Lebanese families and Syrian refugees access affordable housing in infrastructures in Beirut’s peripheries. Artists Maha Al-Daya is a Palestinian artist from Gaza. In addition to her painting and multidisciplinary artistic practice, she is also engaged in the design and embroidery of traditional Palestinian dresses. Her work explores themes of identity, memory, and resilience, often reflecting the socio-political realities of Palestinian life. Over the years, Al-Daya has participated in numerous prestigious art residencies, including the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2012), appointed by the Consulate General of France in Jerusalem, and the Summer Academy at the Suha Shoman Institute, Darat al Funun, Amman (2001), under the nomination of the Khalil Sakakini Center in Ramallah.
