The 2024-20 program consists of three primary modes of inquiry; the Preface, the workshops, and seminars with ongoing mentorship provided by the Advisors. Invited guests this year include Sophia Al Maria, Kader Attia, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Nesrine Khodr, Frank Leibovici, Sandra Noeth, Walid Raad, Yasmine Eid Sabbagh, and Walid Sadek among others.
