TRIPOLI CANCELLED

Naeem Mohaiemen

Naeem Mohaiemen works as a director and visual artist, primarily dealing with the failure of left-wing utopias and post-colonialism trials. All this in a perspective of third world internationalism and global socialism. His works include the four-part project The Young Man Was, composed of United Red Army (2011-2012), Afsan’s Long Day (2014), Last Man in Dhaka Central (2015) and Abu Ammar Is Coming (2016). The works were presented at the 2011 Sharjah Biennial, at New York’s MoMA, at the 2015 Venice Film Festival, and at the 2016 Berlin Film Festival, respectively. He later made a diptych composed of Tripoli Cancelled (2017), presented at the British Film Institute, and the video installation Two Meetings and a Funeral (2017).
