We invite you to attend the inaugural meeting of “Hiwar Art Club”.

In this opening meeting we will introduce our program, plan and activities, as we will also conclude with a closing reception to meet the organizers of the club and fellow attendants.
You will find the reading due on our first meeting posted on the event page. The reading is from the introduction of the book “Theory for Art History” by Jae Emerling.

“Hiwar Art Club” is an educational art hub that gathers artists and interested people from various backgrounds every Saturday to participate in group discussions on selected readings and screenings in addition to hosting guest speakers, in the hope of cultivating contemporary artistic and cultural awareness among our joined members.

The club meetings are divided into two parts where on a given Saturday, the members are gathered in a circle to discuss topics relating to critical theory and its impact on concepts and forms of art in the contemporary context. These discussions will be based on the book “Theory for Art History” as the main reference from which we will explore the implications of the creative act and its agency in our present time. In addition, the club will organize interactive sessions and activities that will allow for the exchange of ideas and creations between members. On the following Saturday, the group will host a visiting speaker to share their expertise and discuss topics related to contemporary art practices. This club is open to the public and everyone is welcome to join.
