<p>This time we will have an insight into Kuwaiti society from the
perspective of a Kuwaiti artist. A very exciting topic,
considering the special role Kuwait plays in the Gulf region, due
to its turbulent history triggered by decolonization and the
invasion of Iraqi troops and the resulting second Gulf War. <br>
<br>
Aseel AlYaqoub (b. 1986, Kuwait) is an artist who works across the
disciplines of history, architecture and cultural identity theory.
Her practice is concerned with themes of nationhood, state
apparatuses and collective nostalgia to discern why some
historical elements fit well within the national narrative whilst
others are deliberately forgotten. Using an ever-growing
collection of found objects, documents and media, her work
explores the construct of new nations such as Kuwait. Through
video, drawing, installation and printmaking, she documents the
nation’s processes of self-identification and state-making – that
happened within pressure-cooker conditions – post-imperial
dissolution and re-attachment.</p>
