Description:
This monograph accompanied the first retrospective of Salloum's career, filling a gap in contemporary art documentation of his practice. Salloum's work displays a distinctive commitment to the exploration of personal stories and viewpoints within unstable or uncertain geo-political contexts, and has led him to collaborations with individuals and communities in places as far-ranging as Palestine, former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Cuba, Lebanon, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Kamloops, and more.
This comprehensive publication brings together diverse voices of many individuals to reflect upon the impact of Salloum's production.
