To celebrate the launch of Dissonant Archives: Contemporary Visual Culture and Contested Narratives in the Middle East, edited by Anthony Downey (I.B. Tauris, 2015) in September 2015, Ibraaz held a panel discussion at Rivington Place. Here, a range of invited participants responded to the notion and concepts surrounding the archive and contemporary visual artistic production.

In this video, Zineb Sedira discusses the work of Algerian photographer Mohamed Kouaci, his archive of work, as kept by his widow Safia, and the creation of her film Image Keepers (2010), which examined the memory and legacy of their combined work.
