LET’S BE HONEST, THE WEATHER HELPED

Walid Raad engages how violence affects bodies, minds, culture and tradition. In his photographs, videotapes, sculptures, texts and mixed media installations, Raad proceeds from historical events to imagine seemingly ludicrous, bizarre, and wondrous situations and documents. A performance at the intersection between lecture, guided tour and theatre is centrally placed in the exhibition.

Walid Raad was born in 1967 in Lebanon. He currently lives in Medusa, in upstate New York.
