Sada [regroup]: Film Showing and Discussion with Bassim Al Shaker and Ali Eyal Hosted by Michael Rakowitz

  • Chicago Cultural Center - Theater 78 E Washington St Chicago (map)

From 2011–2015, Sada, an online and in person ad hoc art school, was set up in Baghdad to support artists working through the aftermath of US-led invasion and occupation. Nearly a decade later, former artists of Sada came together again, reflecting on their creative and disparate lives since that time. Artists Sajjad Abbas, Bassim Al Shaker, Ali Eyal, Sarah Munaf, and Sada’s founder Rijin Sahakian each created video works, comprising one experimental, interconnected anthology film. Sada [regroup] is a complex visualization of individual and collective art practices in a protracted era of international warfare. Commissioned by documenta fifteen.
