Acclaimed artist Julie Mehretu is joined by Global Africa Lab Directors Mabel Wilson and Mario Gooden and GSAPP Visiting Professor Shahira Fahmy. In Beloved (Cairo), Mehretu's stunning 10 x 24 foot painting of the city in flux, abstract marks and architectural drawings depict the Nile, Tahrir Square, the Hilton, and "the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is" to provide a touchstone for this conversation on art, architecture, protest, and social change in African cities today.
