CONFERENCE JOANA HADJITHOMAS AND KHALIL JOREIGE

“RRR on LRS: A strange feeling of ‘déjà  vu’. The Lebanese Rocket Society that once made the headlines of all the major newspapers has now sunken into oblivion, pushed from our imaginary and disconnected from our self-image. Our research related to this space project (the film and the art works) attempts to bring this buried story back to life in order to reconsider the rewriting of certain historical events and the production of the imaginary, and far from the temptations of nostalgia, to revive it through what is known as ‘Reconstitution, Reenactment and Restaging’ or other activations of the past in the present”. (Joana Hadjithomas, Khalil Joreige)
