Raed Ibrahim

Raed is set to present his project, Sitting on a Sidewalk, at the Philomena+ exhibition, created in collaboration with Austrian artist Marlene Hausegger. The project will be featured as a joint work in the exhibition, which will be held in Vienna from late May through mid-July, and focuses on fostering exchange between artists from the WANA region (West Asia and North Africa) and Austria. The project emerges from an ongoing dialogue between the two artists, through which they reflect on their respective artistic practices and site-specific possibilities, specifically around Praterstern Square in Vienna. Raed’s research centers on capturing stories from public spaces, linking them to his recent and distant personal memories, expressed through symbols and visual signs. As part of the visit, Raed will deliver a lecture at the University of Arts Linz, further expanding the discussion on the artistic experience and its approaches.
