Ghada Waked
Ghada Waked, professor at Académie libanaise des Beaux-Arts-Université de Balamand-- and to the faculty of fine arts of the USEK.

The research of Ghada Waked is centered on the photography, its stakes and its territories of action.
His first public intervention " Media and photography" was in 1994.
"The photography, medium of expression" and "the photographic critique" are the thematics treated respectively in 1997 and 1998.
The postwar and the restructuring of the city are at the center of the two notes "the city, identity and belonging"and" the city and the photography" of 1999 and 2001.
In the same way, her competition at the symposium" the Dialogue" organized by the CRDP of the university of the Holy Spirit of Kaslik (Lebanon) in 2001, under the title "the art and the dialogue" situates the economic and social realities in the center of this reflection.
The ethic v/s aesthetic is the problematic that Ghada Waked advances in " To travel for the photography; Around the work of Re Soupault" in 2004.

The era of the networks, the rules of the contemporary art and the media, still her major concern.

 

A lecture by Ghada Waked
[French title] Des morts à la criée
An essay about photojournalism during the 2006 July war against Lebanon.
Language of the lecture: French


Why did Lebanese feel the need to exhibit the bodies of their killed children? We have never witnessed, throughout the history of photography, similar images as we did now. It is evident that in Lebanon, like elsewhere, children, even when dead, are subject to protection.
Why then were we driven to commit this gesture?

This essay tries to answer to certain questions concerning image and its broadcasting spaces.
