What Survived the Shutter: Documentation, Archive, and the Memory of Art

Syrian photography and archival work have carried the weight of war, displacement, and erasure material that’s both personal memory and a record no one alive can rebuild once lost,
so how does it move from field or vault into galleries and books, and what does it mean to inherit an archive you didn’t build, knowing some things no documentation can save?
Panelists:

  • Ammar Abd Rabbo: Photojournalist and Journalist known for his coverage of conflict and
    international public figures.
  • Ayman Nahle: a visual artist, film archivist, filmmaker, and cinematographer
  • Mohammed Nour Al Durra: photographer, filmmaker and visual artist
