Walid Ra'ad - I Only Wish That I Could Weep, 2001
The Atlas Group/Walid Ra'ad presents
The Loudest Muttering is Over:
Documents from The Atlas Group Archive
Presented in the Wexner Center Film/Video Theatre
April 15 at 7 PM
The Atlas Group is an imaginary, non-profit research foundation, founded by Walid Ra'ad in 1999 in Beirut to explore the contemporary history of Lebanon and some of the unexamined dimensions of the Lebanese wars (1975-1991). The Atlas Group has produced visual and audiovisual documents that while fictionalized are often based on real experiences. Through the guise of The Atlas Group archive, Ra'ad reconsiders the recent internal conflicts in Lebanon in a multi-media lecture presentation of the fictional foundation's archival material.
