Mikhail Karikis
By Mikhail Karikis Winter 2013 | ArteZine Over the past fifteen years I have been exploring the human voice, thinking of it as a malleable sculptural material and a conceptual tool to explore human experience. At first, both the voice and breath seem to resist representation and give rise to a dynamics of dematerialisation and ethereality;…

Nida Ghouse
By Nida Ghouse Winter 2013 | ArteZine 3 Last night I met a friend from years ago. We were, once more, all over again, not knowing what our bodies remembered, almost new to each other.

By Dictaphone Group Fall 2013 | ArteZine We met Abu Hussein when we were sitting once at Abu Adal’s kiosk in “Dalieh” in Beirut. He told us that he is one of the ten fishermen who were evicted from their sea-front rooms that were located under the Grand Café, a café on the southern coast of…
