In his newest cinematic opus, artist Wael Shawky once again entrusts masks and marionettes to rethink and challenge the narratives around the birth of Mediterranean culture. In a psychedelic journey among deities, heroes and titans, I Am Hymns of the New Temple reads classic mythology anew in the unique landscape of Pompeii, creating the ground for a timely and much needed discussion on received ideas surrounding cultural and national identity.
