BioCurious is a group exhibition featuring artists that explore living matter as their subject matter, and in some cases, their artistic medium. The selected artists – who identify as Canadian and/or Indigenous; and as – create works that bridge the gap between science and art. They propose different ways we can understand living bodies and co-existence by intertwining scientific and cultural knowledge.
Muriel N. Kahwagi works across writing, research, and programming. She has held editorial roles at both the Sursock Museum (2015-2021) and the Arab Image Foundation (2021-2022) in Beirut, and since 2022 has been a programmer at the Toronto Arab Film Festival. Her first edited volume, Al Qasid: The real and imagined histories of sung poetry, brings together contributions from scholars, artists, and composers, exploring the politics of archiving sung poetry, and the mediation and transmission of memories and folkloric traditions. This publication, released in November 2022, was supported by the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) and Hammana Artist House.
