Ibraaz Talks is a series of specially curated conversations with artists, curators and writers. Participants are invited to respond to a particular issue or keyword that addresses formal and conceptual issues affecting both their personal practices and contemporary visual culture. Initiated at Art Dubai in 2013, this latest series was staged at SALT Beyoğlu during the opening days of the 13th Istanbul Biennial. This conversation, between Ibraaz Senior Editor Omar Kholeif and artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan, explores the notion of listening in relation to Abu Hamdan's practice as an artist.
