Gaza Biennale artist talk
Gaza Biennale artist Ola Al Shrif and Alternatives Denkmal für Deutschland discuss their collaboration on Al-Shadidah (The Slingshot), an augmented reality work at Berlin’s Hermannplatz. Conceived from Shrif’s displacement in Rafah, the floating, ephemeral slingshot imagines carrying people over walls to safety. “Al-Shadidah” is not merely an object. It is a distilled metaphor for the desire to escape the impossible an attempt to turn despair into action, fear into form, and borders into a point of departure."
ACHTUNG: Meet Alternatives Denkmal for Deutschland at Hermannplatz by the statue at 6 pm. We will look at the work and then go to Casino for Social Medicine for a joint conversation with Ola Al Shrif. There will be warm food on donatin basis for our friend's family in Gaza.
