Attuning to her background in documentary filmmaking, Joyce Joumaa will lead a discussion on filmic gestures of re-enactment and re-staging to explore how a critical use of fiction might address historical omissions and inspire transformative methodologies for artistic investigations. Extending these themes to the role of the actor, Joumaa will consider the multiple presence of Albert Lamorisse in the exhibition Lovers’ Wind, and offer an experimental script reading from her forthcoming film on the extraordinary life and death of the Lebanese figure, Youssef Bey Karam.
