On the occasion of Mounira Al Solh's video installation Now Eat My Script, currently on view at *KW Projects*, Alya Sebti, freelance curator and artistic director of the 5th Marrakech Biennale (2014), and Thomas Kellein, long-time museum curator and art advisor since 2012, will have a public conversation with Lebanese artist Mounira Al Solh.

After an introduction into al Solh's work, including sound examples of her piece created for the 5th Marrakech Biennale, the conversation will focus on the various approaches of the artist, since Al Solh uses media such as textile, drawing, video, and sound installations, to interweave and embrace images and language in her culture. The conversation will move later to the artist's hometown Beirut and unveil a more personal angle of Al Solh's biography, also reflected in her work. She has a deep relationship to her family, which seems to have inspired the narrative for Now Eat My Script. Mounira Al Solh will speak also about new works she will be creating in the near future.

For our guests who haven't seen Now Eat My Script yet, we start the last screening of the film before the artist talk at 18.15 h at *KW Projects*.
