Tania El Khoury & Ziad Abu-Rish "The Search for Power" @ Kyoto University of the Arts Gallery @KCUA
An exhibition by Tania El Khoury & Ziad Abu-Rish exploring Lebanon's power crisis is being held at Kyoto University of the Arts Gallery @KCUA.Summary
The Kyoto University of the Arts Gallery @KCUA is hosting the exhibition "The Search for Power" by Tania El Khoury, a live artist born during the Lebanese Civil War, and her husband, historian Ziad Abu-Rish. The work stems from a project initiated by the couple to investigate the roots of Lebanon's decades-long electricity crisis and resulting political instability, which they present in the form of an audience-participatory sound installation. The installation features previously concealed documents and archival materials collected from multiple countries, revealing traces of historical darkness related to power struggles and money games between former colonial powers and the West concerning Lebanon's power infrastructure. By examining these materials, the audience becomes a successor to this history.
