Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring renowned artists Sama Alshaibi, Sadik Alfraji, and Huma Gupta. This event, titled "From the Great Flood to the Great Migration," is part of the esteemed MIT Fall 2023 Architecture Lecture Series. In collaboration with the Aga Khan Program and the Artc, Culture, and Technology program, this event promises to delve into the profound themes of displacement, fragmentation, and the human experience. 

Sadik Alfraji, an Iraqi-Dutch multimedia artist, will share his unique perspective through various mediums such as drawing, painting, print, photograph, sculpture, video, and animation. His expressive intensity and focus on the concept of existence captivate audiences, while his exploration of anxiety, loss, and lapses in time resonates deeply with themes of exile. Alfraji's work has been displayed in prestigious art venues worldwide, including MoMa PS1, the British Museum, and the Venice Biennale.

Sama Alshaibi, an artist based in the United States, utilizes photography, video, and installation to explore the aftermath of destruction on individuals and communities. Through her own body as subject and medium, Alshaibi challenges traditional portrayals of Arab female figures. Her work has been recognized with accolades such as the Guggenheim Fellowship and has been exhibited at esteemed institutions like the Museum of Modern Art.

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

There is a statue of Henry VIII at the entrance to Trinity College. There is an apple tree on the green lawn at the entrance of the College, which is the source of Newton&#39;s law of gravity. When you enter the courtyard of the College, the magnificent building brings a sense of awe. The front hall of the church is filled with jade statues of famous graduates from Trinity College, including Newton, Bacon, Tennyson and others.

The clock was a little unclear at night. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, the psychology is still a little inexplicable nervous. After all, time, no one can control.
