Remembering the Light: Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige at the Sursock Museum
Sursock Museum will hold this month a major solo exhibition by Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Remembering the Light.
Spanning works produced mainly between 2016 and the present, the exhibition brings together installations, photographs, films, video and sculptures. It explores the vertigo of archeology, constructed imaginaries, fragilities, and persistence.
In moments of extreme turmoil, the artists invoke poetry while also turning their gaze to what lies beneath our feet—surveying the emergence of subterranean, invisible worlds.
These works evoke human and non-human perspectives on materiality, memory, cities, histories, and hidden narratives—uncovering what has been buried, forgotten, or concealed in a dizzying journey through the palimpsest of time.
Opening on 9 May 2025 at 5:30, the exhibition brings together installations, sculptures, films, photographs, and sound pieces produced between 2016 and 2025.
The exhibition starts Friday and will be on until September 4 .

Coldplay kiss camera saga: Can you ever expect privacy in public?
by Naharnet Newsdesk 22 July 2025, 14:33 When the "KissCam" at a Coldplay concert landed on a couple who tried (but failed) to duck out of the spotlight, the internet immediately got to work. In hours, the clip was just about everywhere. Endless memes, parody videos and photos of the pair's shocked faces filled social media feeds. Online sleuths rushed to identify who was on camera. Artificial intelligence and software company Astronomer eventually confirmed that its CEO and chief people officer were in fact the couple in the video — and announced the CEO's resignation over the weekend. The incident's fallout has, of course, generated conversations about business ethics, corporate accountability and the repercussions that conflicts of interest among leadership can cause. But there are also broader implications at play in our increasingly online world — about the state of potentially being visible everywhere you go or tracked through "social media surveillance." Experts say it's more and more common for moments that may have been intended to be private, or at least reserved to a single physical venue, to make their way online and even go global today. So in the era of lightning-fast social sharing and when cameras are practically inescapable, does being in public hold any expectation of privacy anymore? Is every experience simply fodder for the world to see? Cameras are everywhere It's no secret that cameras are filming much of our lives these days. From CCTV security systems to Ring doorbells, businesses, schools and neighborhoods use ample video surveillance around the clock. Sporting and concert venues have also filmed fans for years, often projecting playful bits of audience participation to the rest of the crowd. In short, the on-scene viewer becomes part of the product — and the center of attention. And of course, consumers can record just about anything if they have a smartphone in their pocket — and, if it's enticing to other social media users, that footage can quickly spread through cyberspace. Ellis Cashmore, author of the book "Celebrity Culture," proposes that the rapid fame of last week's KissCam moment probably answers a question many have been asking for years: "Is the private life still what it was? And the answer is, of course, there's no such thing as the private life anymore," he notes. "Certainly not in the traditional sense of the term." "I'm not sure that we can assume privacy at a concert with hundreds of other people," adds Mary Angela Bock, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media. "We can't assume privacy on the street anymore." Some version of the KissCam has long been a staple at big events — from timeouts during sports games to romantic songs played by artists at their concerts. It's easy to miss, but most venues have signs to inform the audience that they could be filmed during the event. What's been different in more recent years, experts note, is how quickly those moments can travel beyond the physical space where they actually unfold. That isn't only limited to what shows up on a jumbotron. Sometimes it only takes one person in the crowd to capture any interaction on their phone and post the video online — where it can zip around the world. "It's not just the camera," Bock says. "It's the distribution system that is wild and new." Once something's viral, doxing often follows Then there's the second ring of exposure — what happens after the video or photos spread. Experts point to growing instances of social media users rushing to publicly identify, or dox, the people captured on camera — much like how quickly the internet committed to finding those involved in the Coldplay moment, for example. The LinkedIn pages belonging both to Astronomer's now-former CEO and chief people officer remained disabled on Monday, and The Associated Press could not reach either for comment. But it isn't limited to company executives. Beyond someone simply spotting a familiar face and spreading the word, technological advances — including AI — have made it easier and faster overall to find just about anyone in an online post. This can happen with videos and photos shared on social media each day, even if it doesn't go viral, experts warn. "It's a little bit unsettling how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us — and how the internet has gone from being a place of interaction, to a gigantic surveillance system," Bock says. "When you think about it, we are being surveilled by our social media. They're tracking us in exchange for entertaining us." And of course, such moments can also impact people who were not actually on camera. As easy as it can be to be identified online today, the internet is notorious for cutting a broad swath or not always getting it right. That sometimes produces harassment of individuals not actually involved. At last week's Coldplay concert, for example, many social media users speculated that a third person seen near the two caught on camera was another Astronomer employee — leading to swarms of posts targeting her. But the company later confirmed that she was not at the event and said no other employees were in the video circulating online. For the now-viral moment, "we can talk about what's right and wrong, and whether they deserved it," says Alison Taylor, a clinical associate professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. Still, it's a "very frightening thing to get a lot of abuse and harassment online," Taylor notes. "There are real human beings behind this." It's hard to think that that these kind of viral moments will ever go away — and there are few legal restrictions to stop users from sharing clips of interactions recorded from anything from a concert to the street widely online. But on an individual level, Bock says it can be helpful to "think before you share" and question whether something's really accurate. "Social media has changed so much," Bock says. "But we really have not, as a society, caught up with the technology in terms of our ethics and our etiquette."

Venice Film Festival lineup features Roberts, Clooney, Stone and Johnson
by Naharnet Newsdesk 22 July 2025, 14:33 Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Emma Stone, Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler and Idris Elba are just some of the celebrities headlining films at this year's Venice International Film Festival. Organizers on Tuesday unveiled the starry lineup for its 82nd edition, which kicks off a busy fall film festival season in August. Two years after launching "Poor Things" at Venice, Yorgos Lanthimos and Stone are returning with "Bugonia," an English language remake of the South Korean sci-fi comedy "Save the Green Planet!" that is among the 21 films playing in the main competition. Clooney will also be back as star of Noah Baumbach's "Jay Kelly," in which he plays a famous actor on a trip through Europe with his longtime manager (Sandler). Some of the other high-profile titles competing for the Golden Lion include: Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," with Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the monster; Chloé Zhao's "Hamnet," a work of historical fiction about William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife (Jessie Buckley) after the death of their son; and Benny Safdie's sports drama "The Smashing Machine," starring Johnson as MMA fighter Mark Kerr and Emily Blunt as his wife. Also in competition are Kathryn Bigelow's "A House of Dynamite," a political thriller about an imminent missile strike on the U.S., starring Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, and Jim Jarmusch's anthology film "Father Mother Sister Brother," with Cate Blanchett and Adam Driver. Many master filmmakers are also in the section: Park Chan-wook will debut "No Other Choice"; László Nemes has his most personal film yet in "Orphan"; and François Ozon takes on an Albert Camus adaptation with "L'étranger." One of the titles bound to make waves is Kaouther Ben Hania's "The Voice of Hind Rajab," about the young girl who was killed along with six other relatives when they were trapped in their car under Israeli fire in northern Gaza. Luca Guadagnino's "After the Hunt," a psychological thriller for the #MeToo era about a complaint of sexual violence at an American university, is debuting out of competition — a joint decision between the filmmaker and Amazon MGM. It will mark Roberts' first time at the festival. She co-stars in the film with Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri. Julian Schnabel's "In the Hand of Dante," based on the cult novel, with Isaac, Gal Gadot, Al Pacino and Martin Scorsese, is also showing out of competition, as is Gus Van Sant's "Dead Man's Wire," with Bill Skarsgård, Colman Domingo and an appearance by Pacino. The festival held on the Lido, a barrier island in the Venetian Lagoon, will open with Paolo Sorrentino's "La Grazia," starring Toni Servillo and Anna Ferzetti, on Aug. 27 and run through Sept. 6. Alexander Payne is presiding over the main competition jury, which also includes actor Fernanda Torres and directors Cristian Mungiu, Mohammad Rasoulof and Maura Delpero. Venice has established itself as a solid launching pad for Oscar hopefuls, with a handful of best picture winners, including "The Shape of Water," "Spotlight," "Nomadland" and "Birdman," and many more nominees to its name. Last year's edition had several eventual Oscar winning films in the lineup, including Brady Corbet's "The Brutalist," which won three including best actor for Adrien Brody, Walter Salles' best international feature winner "I'm Still Here," and the animated short "In the Shadow of the Cypress." Corbet co-wrote another competition entry with his partner Mona Fastvold, who directed, "The Testament of Ann Lee" with Amanda Seyfried. Like "The Brutalist," it was also shot on 70 mm, but is quite a bit shorter. Venice will be just the first stop for several films, including "Hamnet," "Frankenstein" and "The Smashing Machine," which will all go on to play at the Toronto Film Festival shortly after. The festival has programmed 15 documentaries out of competition including Golden Lion winner Laura Poitras, and Mark Obenhaus's, "Cover-Up," about investigative journalist Seymour Hersh; Sofia Coppola's documentary "Marc by Sofia" about her longtime friendship with fashion designer Marc Jacobs; Werner Herzog's doc "Ghost Elephants," described as being as exciting as a thriller; and "Kim Novak's Vertigo." Both Novak and Herzog are being honored with lifetime achievement awards during the festival.
