Not Your Family WhatsApp

Not Your Family WhatsApp is a curatorial project co-curated by University of Southern California, MA in curatorial studies graduate Loujain Bager and Los Angeles based artist, Zeina Baltagi. The project centers around WhatsApp as a digital platform that allows for global communication. Not Your Family WhatsApp explores the connectivity of the platform and the way we communicate in the diaspora. We are interested in the circulated stills, audio and moving images, commonly sent in WhatsApp Group Messages. Inspired by how our families interact with each other and the aesthetics of the images, videos, and voice notes, sent to one another. This project is a multi-layered exhibition including: a virtual discussion series, a virtual exhibition and a public window display visible from the street at Coaxial Arts Foundation’s Downtown Los Angeles location.
