Festival Les Instants Vidéo becomes a Museum of solidarity to welcome 8TH
BIENNAL /SI:N/ IN PRAISE OF THE HIGH SHADOW (based on a poem by Mahmoud Darwich,
written in 1982 during the siege of Beirut, a poem written after the Sabra and
Shatila massacre, read in Algeria in 1983 before the Palestinian National
Council.) FROM 2 PM TO 9:30 PM SCREENINGS, EXHIBITION, ENCOUNTERS In 2024, the
Palestinian video and performance art biennal /si:n/ (8th edition) is forced
into exile. It will be hosted by the 37th Festival Les Instants Vidéo. But it
will also be travelling the world, welcomed by other museums of solidarity (in
Ethiopia, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Jordan, Lebanon, Canada, USA). Inspired* by
the tri-continental, anti-imperialist solidarity movements of the 1960s and 80s,
at the crossroads of militant, artistic and museological practices that created
a very particular form of museum of solidarity, without walls, and more often
than not, museums in exile (in support of the people of Chile, Nicaragua, South
Africa and of course Palestine), the A.M. Qattan Foundation and Les Instants
vidéo launched a call for solidarity to artists and international organisations.
