Tawfik Naas’s work builds upon his ongoing research around speculative methods of remembering generational pasts. Naas aims to unlock the hidden potentialites lost from these histories by reconfiguring them into alternate spaces. Believing that this allows for the birth of a more heightened perception of these generational histories. Often highlighted through sculpture, writing and/or drawing, Naas attempts to present these methods as legitimate tools for observing/healing.
