Shared
Spaces in Times of Crisis was the title of the roving exhibition
sponsored by the European Union as part of the Euro-Mediterranean project
aimed at exploring themes of memory, shared spaces, and identity. Nada Sehnaoui
was commissioned by The Center of Behavioral Studies at the American University
of Beirut to create the artwork for the Beirut part of the exhibition, entitled
“Memories of Beirut.” Research and field studies were carried
out by students of the Center, under the supervision of Professor Samir Khalaf.
The exhibition was also held in three other participating cities: Ancona (Italy),
Alexandria, and Jerusalem.
