José Miguel G. Cortés, curator of the Mona Hatoum exhibition, delivered a lecture focusing on aspects of the Lebanese-born artist’s work that relate to overcoming static boundaries and limits. The discussion covered thematic aspects, the questioning of identities, and the diverse materials used in her installations. Mona Hatoum’s work embraces fluid and porous approaches that foster open and inclusive attitudes and positions, often exploring questioning and contradictions; precariousness and instability, ambiguity and paradox, as well as memory and identity, are among the most significant themes.
