Her practice centres on oral history, memory, and storytelling across media, with a strong commitment to collaborative and community-based work. She holds a Master\u2019s in Art Education from Concordia University and a BFA from the Lebanese University.<\/p>\n<p>Her work explores how personal and collective narratives are shaped, remembered, and transmitted, moving between comics, writing, and research-creation. In recent years, she has developed projects that engage with translation, visual storytelling, and editorial practices, with a particular attention to language, displacement, and voice.<\/p>\n<p>She is currently developing an oral history project that explores the early history of a community-based school in Beirut and the memory of its founder. Through conversations with former students, teachers, staff and family members, the project gathers personal narratives that reflect everyday experiences of schooling, care, and community formation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ellengallery.concordia.ca\/mumtalakat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Mumtalakat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Working in the third most spoken language in Montreal, <a href=\"http:\/\/ellengallery.concordia.ca\/mumtalakat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mumtalakat<\/a> is a multi-part project exploring the meaning embedded in objects belonging to Arabic-speaking immigrants. Building off my thesis project in art education, the project features interviews with Arabic-speaking Montrealers who shared their experiences through a discussion of personal objects that had traveled alongside them in the migration experience. In addition to the interviews which were ongoing, the project grew into a series of Arabic storytelling workshops Kan Ya Ma Kan, as well as three public reading events featuring local Arabic speaking authors writing in Arabic, French, or English.<\/p>\n<p>On this website, you will find videos of eight oral history interviews with images and their accompanying transcripts, a bibliography, as well as three critical texts authored in Arabic, French, and English.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ellengallery.concordia.ca\/mumtalakat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mumtalakat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emmaharake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Emma Harak\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,86,23,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-affilie-e-s","category-affilie-e-s-communautaires","category-affilie-e-s-principaux-ales","category-communaute"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2802"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26542,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2802\/revisions\/26542"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
