2003
A compilation of events presented at the first edition of 'Home Works: A Forum on Cultural Practices' in Beirut, Lebanon from April 2 to 7, 2002. Artists, writers, and thinkers were invited to explore the notion of dislocation amidst the current geo-political and economic climate of the Arab region. 'Home Works: A Forum on Cultural Practices is a multidisciplinary platform that takes place in Beirut every 2-3 years. Launched by Ashkal Alwan in 2002, Home Works has evolved into one of the most vibrant platforms for contemporary cultural practices in the Arab region and internationally. Artists, curators, writers, thinkers, and cultural practitioners gather for ten days in order to share their works, which take the form of exhibitions, lectures, panels, artists’ talks, screenings, workshops and publications, as well as theatre, dance and music performances. This publication includes transcripts of lectures; and descriptions of performances, exhibitions, and film screenings presented in the forum.
