Walid Siti takes part in the group show Bagdad mon amour taking place at the Institut des Cultures d’Islam in Paris between March 29 and July 29. The exhibition pays tribute to Hiroshima mon amour, masterpiece of Alain Resnais written by Marguerite Duras, to evoke the conflicts, looting and destruction in Iraq through the work of artists. Curated by Morad Montazami, the exhibition summons the utopia of a "museum without walls". Far from nostalgia, a constellation of modern and contemporary works, archival documents and nomadic signs fosters a visual culture that resists erasure.
