Regine Basha has been an curator of contemporary art and art writer since the early 1990s. Her exhibition and writing history can be found on bashaprojects.com. Amongst her most recent projects is TuningBaghdad.net, an audio-visual forum for chronicling Iraqi-Jewish music scene and their house parties (based on her own background). This ongoing project brings to light the movement of this diasporic community and their displacement from Iraq as evidenced through their love of Arabic music and the Iraqi Maqam. Basha currently sits on the board of the foundation Art Matters (New York), Aurora Picture Show (Houston) and is a Curatorial Host to Cabinet Magazine’s new space in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
Regine Basha will give this talk in her capacity as visiting scholar at the Center for Jewish Studies.
