In Part 1 (2017) of Who Is Afraid of Ideology?, Marwa Arsanios addresses forms of self-governance and self - defense that have emerged from the Kurdish autonomous women’s movement. The last film in this quadrilogy, Part 4: Reverse Shot (2022), examines the issues of inheritance, ownership, property and commons following a process of communalisation of land in the North of Lebanon.
In the aftertalk Marwa Arsanios will discuss her film series and project Who is Afraid of Ideology?, focusing on the most recent process of communalizing a land in Northern Lebanon. The question of property and its undoing will be central to the discussion. From legal, to agricultural to forced re-appropriation, the talk will attempt to go through different strategies, forms and politics of non-property.
Marwa Arsanios is an artist, researcher and filmmaker living in Berlin.
In the frame of the course Artistic Research: Visual Arts. Lecturer: Saddie Choua.
