“IN THE NEW CITIES —CITIES OF POVERTY AND APATHY— THE SKY FEELS WIDER. AS YOU LOOK FOR THE MOON, THE SEARCH TAKES LONGER, THE SKY WILL GET WIDER, AND THE HEART NARROWER. HOPING TO FIND ONE LAST PIECE OF PAPER THAT MIGHT STIR YOUR HEART, YOU WILL REACH BEYOND YOUR DIAPHRAGM. BEYOND DECEMBER, IN SEARCH FOR A NEW MESSIAH LIVING AMONG THESE NEW CITIES —CITIES OF POVERTY AND APATHY.”
Ra’fat Ali is presenting the trailer for his film project, “Greener on the Other Shore.” As he marks the completion of its first stage as part of his LABitat Research programme at NP3 | RE:Search Gallery, he warmly invites you to join his presentation, “In Search for a New Messiah”, a reflection on Christmas in relation to his film project.
Together with artists Layla May Arthur and Aisha Halima Hachem, they will capture the idea of Christmas in paper and fabric with a set of workshops.
