Delfina Foundation Presents:
WAEL SHAWKY'S LARVAE CHANNEL series
Wael Shawky's most recent work deals with the dichotomies and contradictions of social norms, primarily relating to culture and religion. The Larvae Channel series explores a variety of issues that are rooted in local concerns, yet have profound international relevance. Shown together for the first time ever, the two videos consider marginalization, cultural hybridization, migration and modernization as platforms for self-perception.
Larvae Channel series is part of The Knowledge series, an ongoing programme at Delfina Foundation. Taking its title from London's famous black cab drivers' training, The Knowledge is a journey through visual culture from the Middle East & North Africa, one city at a time. Previous ‘stops' of The Knowledge have included Damascus (2009) and Tehran (2010).
The Knowledge - Stop 3: Alexandria is presented as part of Shubbak: A Window on Contemporary Arab Culture, a festival presented by the Mayor of London, from 4-24 July 2011.
