SCREEN MEMORIES considers the experience of mass media in the Arab world for a generation of artists who grew up in the early 2000s, at the tail end of network television’s popularity. Using video and sound, artists Yara Asmar, Mona Benyamin, and Huda Takriti reference and reimagine the media they grew up with in new forms.

SCREEN MEMORIES is curated by May Makki, Abrons Arts Center’s 2024-25 Curatorial AIRspace Resident, presented in partnership with Artists Alliance Inc.
