The tour will be followed by a group discussion to share our collective viewing and altered perceptions of the works.

Andrew Riad (b. 2000, Cairo) is a Coptic Nubian Egyptian multidisciplinary artist and poet exploring the intersection of poetry, research, performance, and play. He works with archives, text, moving and still images, and soundscapes to undo a monolithic history and propose a [re]imagined and [re][un]written history revealing silenced and ostracized narratives as original sources of truth and fact. For him, language is the experience of sound and ritual; of symbol and gesture and as such, is a site for resurrection, imagination, and [re]integration.
