Manar Moursi:
The Loudspeaker and the Tower

opens March 28
Reception 12 - 2

Artspace Peterborough is excited to present Manar Moursi: The Loudspeaker and the Tower, organized and circulated by Trinity Square Video and SAVAC with support from the Ontario Arts Council.

Join us Saturday May 28th 12-2pm for the opening reception with Artist lead tour and talk starting at 2pm

We will also be live streaming the Artist tour on our instagram for those who cannot make it in person at this time.

Exhibition Description- Using the mosque as its starting point, The Loudspeaker and the Tower examines the apparatus of the minaret as a vertical symbol of power and as a horizontal multiplier of official and unsanctioned narratives. Moursi’s installation revolves around a set of associated characters — residents of once agricultural lands, mosque custodians, imams, architects, artists, and a parrot — to further understand the radical complexities of these structures.

Two figures wearing black against a black backdrop. To the left a young BIPOC girl wrapped in light holding a megaphone abover her head with one hand. On the right a BIPOC man with a metal structure encasing his shoulders and head.
