Across video, painting, sculpture, and textiles, Bassam Issa Al-Sabah’s work aims to convey visions of war, resistance, and exile. His artwork projects political meaning on to Arabic-dubbed anime cartoons, broadcast across the Middle East since the 1980s. Concerned with how memories of the past are continually revised to meet the present, the reworked animations make space for historical trauma and queer possibility to intersect.
