Materials. Gaps. Words. Threads. Representations. I think from there and take them with me, outside their boxes, walls and vitrines and out to where learning and thinking actually happens.
-> Sufra Archive:
I curate and digitize a growing collection of over 4,200 items documenting the food, agricultural, and food manufacturing histories of West Asia and North Africa, serving as a resource for scholars, researchers, and cultural practitioners. The project collection and research effort have been supported by AFAC and ACSS.
The digital archive’s site is currently in development at www.sufraarchive.com
You can follow the archive’s instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sufra_archive/
-> Archival installations:
In my installations, I root exhibitions in historical context by bringing archives out of their confinement and placing them in dialogue with other works and media. I assemble texts, image, and objects around themes of food and social systems to surface connections, absences, and tensions, creating spaces to think with history
