Akram Zaatari

Zaatari has an expansive practice that reflects on the collection, archive and dissemination of images and the role they play in the formation of identities and histories. This sensibility is formed by living through 15 years of war in Lebanon and recording it as a teenager. He has spent much of the past decade collecting and studying the photographic history of the Middles East.

In Zaatari's first exhibition in Scotland, he presented a selection of works that reflected his interest in the documentary and its place as a tool in the shaping of history. It was accompanied by a programme of events including exhibition talks, engagement workshops and a roundtable conversation.
