The Atlas Group is a research and artistic project founded by Lebanese artist Walid Raad in 1999. Presented as an archive project, The Atlas Group aims to investigate the boundaries between document and fiction, history and memory, discourse and experience. Through its different series, it questions historiographical processes in regards to one’s perception of time, space and events; manipulates vernacular images and archival documents to compose alternative narratives of Lebanon’s history, with an emphasis on the Lebanese wars of 1975 and 1990. The Atlas Group has been critically acclaimed and internationally praised for questioning the versatility and categorization of art forms, its capacity to serve a political and historical purpose, and to challenge notions of authority in the writing of History.
