REIMAGINE: Global Conversations – The Powers of Art with Wafaa Bilal

How does making art help a person escape adversity? How can it uplift a community, preserve a culture, counter injustice, or unite a people?

Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal has dedicated his career to exploring these questions in his provocative performance and installation art — including 168:01, which the Aga Khan Museum exhibited in 2018.

A former refugee and current professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Bilal reflects on his origins in Iraq, art’s power to effect personal and social change, and significant works on his CV in this new, wide-ranging interview with the Museum’s Dr. Filiz Çakır Phillip.
