“On The Lebanese Rocket Society”
Saturday March 2, 3pm
A presentation by Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige
Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige present on the Lebanese Rocket Society project, a space adventure carried out at Haigazian, an Armenian university in Lebanon, by a group of scientists and students lead by Manoug Manougian who, from 1960 to 1967, designed, produced and launched the first rockets in the Middle East. At the time of the cold war and the pan arabisme, the project made the headlines of all the major newspapers and became so well-known that a stamp was issued commemorating it. Yet it has now sunken into oblivion, pushed from our history and disconnected from our self image. Their research brings this buried story back to life to reconsider the rewriting of certain historical events and the production of the imaginary, and, far from the temptations of nostalgia, to revive it through what is known as ‘Reconstitution, Reenactment and Restaging’ or other activations of the past in the present.
The Lebanese Rocket Society is a feature film documentary (92 minutes) to be released very soon and video, photografic and sound installations that will be shown at CRG Gallery, New York from March 1.
