Ibraaz July Newsletter

007 / 29 July 2014

This month, Ibraaz is pleased to publish interviews, essays and projects that continue to address the future of arts infrastructures and audiences in North Africa and the Middle East, the latter being the ongoing theme of Platform 007. Essays by Toleen Touq and Oraib Toukan are published here for the first time, alongside projects by Caline Aoun and Mohamed Abdelkarim. We are also publishing an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, and reviews and reports from London, New York, Berlin and Tunis.
