Professor of Middle East Studies
Hanan Toukan participated in the panel Mobilizing Shame: Outrage, Resistance, Virality at the conference “
Cultures of Scandal” on January 27, 2023, hosted by the
Institute of Cultural Inquiry (ICI Berlin). The event engaged “with contemporary examples centered around Arab politics and culture both in the region and in the diaspora” to “address the meaning of scandal in the context of art practices and institutional responses.” Prof. Dr. Toukan delivered a presentation entitled The Scandal That Never Was: The Palestinian Key of Return and German Imaginaries of Sovereignty, which reflected on why and when art becomes ‘scandalous’.
