It was a pleasure to exchange with the young curator Meriam Gaied in 2022 as part of her training at The TASAWAR CURATORIAL STUDIOS organized by GOETHE-INSTITUT Tunis.

"Much like in her photographs, she transforms data into poetry to formulate her thoughts and impressions. The data and graphs she shares with her audience, whom she likes to refer to as observers, would appeal to the ‘pathos’ as well as the ‘logos’. She takes the scientific discourse and adds to it to make it more accessible. She chooses to reflect on life from a poetical stance where the dynamics are less constrained and more humane. In fact, she defines a certain state of consciousness where one thrives through poetics. This goes along the lines of what Heidegger states, that the only authentic way to dwell or sojourn on this earth is to dwell poetically."
