The second evening focuses on audiovisual practices that challenge the structures governing the production and dissemination of images, especially under the conditions of legal uncertainty and imminent state violence. How can images protect their subjects while also expand and subvert the visual form, moving beyond popular tools like blurring and fabricated evidence? We approach these complex issues through Oraib Toukan’s VIA DOLOROSA (2021) and Marwa Arsanios' WHO IS AFRAID OF IDEOLOGY, PART 1 (2017). Starting from Toukan’s concept of the "cruel image", the discussion will center on how both films acknowledge the violence inherent in the camera, including its colonial underpinnings, and creatively navigate the limitations of visual representation.
