The CIL Amman Lab is much more than a collection of art pieces. The research, experiential learnings, group discussions, and workshop processes are at the heart of the exchange. While the works created by participants are an integration of all of our learning, so much of the richness comes from the social processes embedded in the lab experience. During our time together we visited Re-Rooting, an exhibit at Darat al Funun; completed a workshop on Jordan’s water system facilitated by Aline Bussman, CEWAS Middle East; visited Wadi Mujib, and of course, gathered for participant presentations during the final event. All of these moments shared together are intrinsic to the creation of the artworks, and contribute to a collective memory.
