Exhibition Opening: working title Fouad Asfour

Join us at WAM for the opening of Fouad Asfour's exhibtion working title on Tuesday 30 July 2024 @ 18:00 for 18:30. The exhibition will be opened by Associate Professor David Andrew from the University of Witwatersrand Fine Arts department. The installation working title invites visitors to experience writing processes from unexpected perspectives. It is the final instalment of Asfour’s practice-based 'creative arts' PhD research project “Un-drawing the Line through Spectrography. Exploring trans-lingual aspects through visual writing”. Visitors are invited to engage in experiences that are located outside of habituated language use by activating spaces of seeing, writing, drawing and doing they carry within themselves.
