Khaled Mattawa’s latest poetry collection
Fugitive Atlas is full of small epiphanies that remind us of the beautiful and tragic dignity of human experience. The collection draws from Mattawa s Libyan heritage and diasporic experiences to examine how individual moments intertwine with a global consciousness.
This consciousness is defined in
Our Cities, a poem that takes its inspiration from Octavio Paz s
I Speak of the City, as “the metropolis that dreams us all, that all of us build and unbuild and rebuild as we dream.”
One subtext of his work invites us to consider our
amanah - God’s trust and free will, which alludes to our essential nature as human beings - and that it is both a blessing and an affliction.
Curator’s Note
Last July, this panel released its first review of an Olafur Eliasson experience produced by Acute Art. That experience, an augmented reality smartphone app that enables you to view the first augmented reality artwork by the Icelandic artist and curator, received 3 stars. As we approach the anniversary of global lockdowns, we are considering what a year of viewing art virtually has meant to the works, the platforms and viewers. And so we decided to take another look at a new Acute experience, this one produced with Dazed Media.
