Biography

The early work of artist and writer Walid Sadek investigated the violent legacies of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) as partially and inadequately seen and experienced by a young Christian-born Lebanese. He later began to posit, mostly in theoretical texts, ways of understanding the complexity of lingering civil strife in times of relative social and economical stability. His recent written work, in art and in writing, endeavours to structure a theory for approaching the ambivalence of living through a protracted civil-war.
