The inaugural Artist Spotlight will feature Raisan Hameed.  Raisan Hameed (*1991) is an Iraqi-German multimedia artist based in Leipzig. He joined FUTURES in 2023, nominated by Der Grief. During this talk, he will present his latest body of work Pixels of Memories, an attempt to address the disappearance of institutional and personal archives in the war-torn city of Mosul by re-constructing them using Google maps. Hameed’s work is a reflection on the construction of an Iraqi identity and reveals how political conflicts shape landscapes and people.
