Ibraaz March Newsletter
Following recent events in Tunis, Ibraaz is republishing an open letter from the Kamel Lazaar Foundation that announces its unequivocal support for the National Museum of Bardo, Tunis, and denounces the act of terrorism that targeted it on Wednesday, 18 March 2015. The Foundation and its initiatives, including Ibraaz, will be going ahead with plans to hold its annual JAOU conference there in May (see below), following on from successful symposia already held there in 2014 and 2013.
This month, Ibraaz is also publishing essays around our Platform 008 theme by Tirdad Zolghadr and Suzanne Gauch, interviews with Jonas Staal and Taus Makhacheva, projects by Makhacheva, Malak Helmy, and Santiago Mostyn, as well as reviews from Barcelona and Bologna.
