Mobilistan - the first mobile state in the limited space of a vehicle

Online film screening and discussion on June 24, 2022

Mobilistan is a travelling state that has no borders and no territory. The art project by Manaf Halbouni and Christian Manss focuses on the themes of mobility, territoriality, recognition, exclusion, freedom to travel and the desire to belong. After its declaration in the fall of 2021 at Pariser Platz in Berlin, the sovereign stretch limousine has embarked on a journey, making numerous state visits to Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Zagreb, Sofia and Istanbul, accompanied by documentary filmmaker Ana Stanic.

On June 24, 2022, you can watch the film online, followed by a discussion with Manaf Halbouni, Christian Manss and Ana Stanic.

In English (simultaneous interpretation into German provided)

To the video recording

How do you stay strong when you are far away while your home is falling to pieces? The closing event of the series “Break Up” zoomed in on a specific topic with wide-ranging implications: how do Lebanese artists and thinkers in exile deal with the turbulent events back home, from a revolution in 2019 to the horrendous explosion in Beirut’s harbour in 2020, to the ongoing state crisis today?

The event kicked off with the premiere of a new film by acclaimed Syrian director Sara Fattahi – an intimate portrayal of Rotterdam-based up-and-coming artist and feminist activist Diana Al-Halabi. In the subsequent debate, Al-Halabi joined veteran Lebanese artist Lina Majdalanie and scholar and activist Jeffrey G. Karam, discussing transnational solidarity and critical activism. The conversation is moderated by historian Leyla Dakhli.
