Join artist Walid Raad for a performative lecture on his writing and visual

as documents of physical and psychological violence. His recent work includes
The Atlas Group (19892004), a project composed of audio, visual, and literary
elements dealing with the contemporary history of Lebanon , particularly the
Lebanese wars from 1975 to 1991. Raad teaches at Cooper Union in New York , and
his pieces have been shown at documenta 11 in Kassel , Germany , the Venice
