Christine Gedeon.
born in aleppo and raised in the U.S., her work navigates between drawing, mapping, and experimental film, engaging with themes of memory, loss, and erasure. – through a process that intersects art and investigation, she delves into her family history in syria before the civil war, revealing stories that range from the poetic to the tragic, weaving a shared resonance from an intimate source.
