Hope: A conversation with Lara Baladi in conversation with Livia Alexander
April 19, 2011
Lara Baladi works essentially with reproducible images in various media and formats. Born in Lebanon, raised in Paris, and currently residing in Egypt, Baladi's installations, videos and collages, address memory, both collective and personal, in a codified language that articulates a multicultural perspective in a world of shifting boundaries. Her work has been exhibited internationally at various spaces around the Middle East, the U.S., Japan and Europe, and is part of a number of contemporary art collections, including the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Museet For Fotokunst in Copenhagen, the Audi Bank in Beirut, and most recently, the Pori Art Museum in Finland. In conversation with Livia Alexander, Baladi will discuss her work on view at 19 Washington Square North.
This program and the rest of the Across Histories 2011 series were made possible through generous grants from NYSCA and DCA.

Ahmed Bassiouny - Egyptian Independent Artists Music & Film Festival April 16, 2011
The 25th January 2011 has been marked in history as the start of the unforeseen ‘Egyptian Revolution’ ending in triumphantly terminating a repressive regime providing hope of new beginnings to millions. However with great prevail came great sorrow and many families counted their losses following the aggressive portion of the peaceful revolt.
One of the unsung heroes of the Egyptian Revolution was Ahmed Bassiouny who died on January 28 while defending his rights to a better living. Bassiouny was a sound, visual artist, musician and teachers assistant at the Faculty of Art Education, Painting and Drawing Department, Helwan University.
