Lecture
“Be! And It Is.” Visual Philology as Radical Humanism in the Work of Kamal Boullata
In conjunction with the exhibition Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s
This event is now canceled.
The play between word and image in the work of the Palestinian polymath Kamal Boullata (1942–2019) is suffused with a humanistic sensibility. Finbarr Barry Flood, Silsila/NYU, will consider the nature of Boullata’s humanism and its implications for understanding the entanglements between aesthetics, ethics, and history in his painting and writing.

Organized by Silsila: Center for Material Histories, NYU, and co-sponsored by NYU’s Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies and Grey Art Gallery.
