Alif Lam Mim

Alif Lam Mim Fragments from a ruminating existence, embroidery on transparent fabric, 1-54 Contemporary African art fair - London 2017

This series reflects on the impact of media images on collective memory through handmade embroidery, a technique the artist learned from her grandmother and connects to her personal memory.

“Dark realities unfold as stills of a larger narrative about local incidents and shocking images propagated by media in the expansive series of Tunisian visual artist and filmmaker Intissar Belaid – “Alif, Lam, Mym; Fragments from a ruminating existence” that is at once feminine, sharp and full of ominous shadows– “
