Monira Al Qadiri

Monira Al Qadiri’s work, Behind the Sun, combines VHS footage of the burning oil fields in Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War with a beautiful poem about the beauty of nature and the divinity of it all. It can be viewed at DARC until May 20.

To celebrate Digital Arts Resource Centre’s (DARC) 40th anniversary, Director Annette Hegel wants to not just look back at the last four decades but to look forward to the future and the present; “to make sense of this mess.”
