•the program “Shifting Shores” presents recent video works by artists from different Arab countries.
•centering on a net of meaning around the concepts of memory, identity and change, the works represent individual investigations of how history, collective memory and transmitted images and narratives are closely linked to contemporary fast-changing realities.
•while questioning established parameters, the works of the program present new angles and invite an active re-thinking of pre-conceived ideas, often with much humour and irony.
