THE ATLAS GROUP / WALID RAAD

Founded in 1999 in New York, USA by Walid Raad (born in 1967 in Chbanieh, Lebanon)

The Atlas Group was founded by Walid Raad as an imaginary foundation to research and document the contemporary history of Lebanon. The Atlas Group documents are organized and preserved in The Atlas Group Archive. The archive contains authored, found, and newly produced files.

As a member of the Arab Image Foundation, Walid Raad has co-curated with Akram Zaatari the installation titled, "Mapping Sitting".
