#vtape

I am very excited to say that Noor and I have been selected to participate in the Vtape Curatorial Incubator. Vtape, an artist-run nonprofit that archives and distributes video art from the 1970s to the present, hosts a yearly incubator where a curator or curatorial team is invited to organize a summer exhibition of works from their catalogue. 

The two of us have been hard at work for several weeks now, researching possible topics and looking into works we’d like to feature and themes we’d like to explore. Though we don’t have a set title or completed checklist at this point, our exhibition explores notions of exile, displacement, and refugee or citizen statuses. Inspired by the Syrian crisis and our own personal experiences with immigration, we hope to put together a nuanced and complex portrait of displacement today. 

We’ll be updating the Tumblr with our thoughts throughout the process. 

The exhibition will open in Spring 2017.
