Product Information

The 21st episode of Lamha presents the Abdel Hadi family collection, which comprises 24 paper prints taken in Palestine and Jordan between the 1920s and the 1960s. Its humble size notwithstanding, the images in this collection range from family photographs to shots of formal officials and even landscapes, including certain areas in Palestine – such as the beach in Jaffa – that have become nearly impossible to reach after the Nakba of 1948. Physical storage of the photographic print, when professionally conserved, provides a relatively stable enduring memory, but one that is more difficult for the public to access. Once digitized, the electronic image is open to almost real time and new search options like similarity-based image retrieval; at the same time, the “virtual” essence of the electronic image becomes more fragile and subject to alteration than ever.

It is now about twenty years ago that Lebanese photographers Fouad Elkoury and Samer Mohdad, together with Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari, decided to create an organization with the aim to preserve and study photographs from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Arab diaspora. In 1997 the Arab Image Foundation (AIF) began to operate officially as a nonprofit organization in Beirut. Conceived as an initiative to gather knowledge and promote awareness about the region’s photographic heritage through locating, collecting, and conserving photographs, the AIF now holds a collection of more than 600,000 photographs from Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Algeria, as well as Mexico, Senegal, and Argentina, dating from the mid-nineteenth century. [1] Curatorial work defines the mission of the AIF not only in the sense that it is safekeeping and managing a collection, but also in that it has always sought to make the collection visible to the public. One major tool has been an online image database, which makes approximately 20,000 photographs accessible. Another central medium of display is the exhibition format. Since its inception, the AIF has produced fifteen exhibitions that have traveled worldwide, often accompanied by comprehensive publications.Cotter, Holland (4 July 2013).

In the context of shrinking liberties across the Arab region and beyond, Yasmine Eid-Sabbagh, Kristine Khouri and Vartan Avakian - all three board members of the Arab Image Foundation - invite students to think beyond this precarity. They put together a hands-on remote Practitioners-in-Residence for the upcoming Spring semester at the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies at NYU to challenge researchers, conservationists, archivists, artists, and writers to reflect on collective work practices and governance as well as custodianship and rights. Using the diverse collections at AIF, they prod us to imagine ways of taking care of a collective inheritance and to think critically about it in relation to our times.
