In Conversation: Marwa Al-Sabouni and Mohamad Hafez at Fabrica

A few years ago, Marwa Al-Sabouni came across Mohamad Hafez’s work and was struck by its delicacy and sensitivity. 

The Argus:

Working as co-guest director with Brighton Festival 2022, Mohamad was one of the first artists that Marwa proposed and is delighted that he accepted the invitation.

Together for the first time through this event, Marwa and Mohamad Hafez explore the themes that are central to their lives and work - architecture, home, beauty, and hope in the face of loss.

Yolk and Aliens by Jane Horrocks available online

Combining a collection of archive material from VHS home footage to diary recordings, Jane Horrocks, Molly Vivian, Francesca Levi and Camilla Clarke have created a memory shop full of treasures and horrors.
