Marwa Arsanios (Washington DC, 1978) is an artist, filmmaker and researcher who lives between Berlin and Beirut. Her practice addresses structural and infrastructural issues, such as the transformation of architectural spaces during conflict or artist-led spaces. Using cinema as a form and space to connect struggles, she intermingles issues such as property, law, economics and ecology from specific places. For this season, Arsanios is presenting the fifth instalment of her series Who is Afraid of Ideology?, in co-production with the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin) and Artium Museoa (Vitoria), in which she explores the history of property in an Ottoman territory to rethink our relationships with the usufruct of land and its legacy. Her recent shows include those at the Heidelberger Kunstverein (Germany), The Mosaic Rooms (London), Contemporary Arts Centre (Cincinnati), Škuc Gallery (Ljubljana) and Beirut Art Centre. Her work has also been presented at Documenta 15, Kassel (2022); 5th Mardin Biennial (2022); 3rd Autostrada Biennial, Pristina (2021), and 11th Berlin Biennale (2020), among others.
