L'INCONNUE Conversations

Dala Nasser

Dala Nasser joins the podcast from Beirut to discuss how the pandemic has impacted her life as an artist and student in her first year in the Painting/Printmaking (MFA) program at Yale. In this episode we discuss her first piece of writing that she submitted for her “pit crit” over zoom: how the pandemic for her feels like a progression of the loss she experienced upon missing the chance to participate in the fight for a new future in Beirut, being in New Haven for her studies while the revolution was taking place in Lebanon. She discusses the story of her first commissioned artwork, reflections on the possible shortcomings of a material-based practice, and finally, her “quarantine routine”. @daladalabillz http://www.dalanasser.com/
