World
Nomads, FIAF’s annual exploration of transculturalism
in the 21st century, is intended as a forum for dialogue
between cultures. It returns this May for its third edition
to focus on Lebanon, a country whose rich heritage has
long captivated imaginations around the world.
All across the globe, members of the extraordinary Lebanese
diaspora have broadened the cultural landscape and enriched
international discourse. The powerful interplay between memory
of homeland and life in new societies has shaped the work
of important contemporary Lebanese artists.
World Nomads Lebanon presents a month-long
series dedicated to some of the preeminent Lebanese artistic
voices active in the fields of music, cinema, literature,
architecture, theater, and the visual arts in the world today.
As with its previous editions, World Nomads Lebanon is
created with luminary curators—thanks in particular to Rasha
Salti—and presented in partnership with esteemed New York-based
cultural organizations, which this year include Alwan
for the Arts, Architizer, ArteEast, Kleio
Projects, and PEN
World Voices Festival of International Literature. |
