Lawrence Abu Hamdan will present The Glasgow School of Art's next Friday Event, as part of their long-running lecture series. Delivered in collaboration with The Common Guild, Abu Hamdan’s lecture will take place on Zoom.
Abu Hamdan will discuss his artistic practice as a 'Private Ear'; listening to, with, and on behalf of people affected by corporate, state, and environmental violence. His work has been presented in the form of forensic reports, lectures and live performances, films, publications, and exhibitions all over the world.
His audio investigations have been used as evidence at the UK Asylum and Immigration Tribunal and been a key part of advocacy campaigns for organisations such as Amnesty International, Defence for Children International and Forensic Architecture.
In June 2024, Abu Hamdan will present 'Live Audio Essays' with The Common Guild as part of Glasgow International.
The Friday Event is a visiting speaker series presented by the School of Fine Art (SoFA) at The Glasgow School of Art. With a long illustrious past and a bright future, the series hosts artists, writers, curators, academics, students and other cultural figures, welcoming and broadening dialogue and knowledge of local and international fields. Happening on campus and online, the Friday Event is always open to all.
