This podcast series features a process-focused conversation that looks at a guest's individual projects rather than their full bodies of work. It sketches the journey of the project: the spark of curiosity that led to its birth, the process of implementing the idea, the obstacles that emerged throughout the implementation, and the aftermath of the project, including new questions and new ideas. The name “Outline” stems from the idea of creating a retroactive project outline which is part of a broader emphasis on the process of curiosity, creativity and critical thinking from a nuts and bolts perspective. The series is not discipline-specific: we host artists, academics, fashion designers, writers, filmmakers, among other professionals in their fields.

Mapping Aleppo & The Memory of Her's Uncle's Abduction | Syrian Artist Christine Gedeon
This episode of Outline is the first in an Aleppo special hosted by Sabine Boghossian. In this episode, our host is joined by visual artist Christine Gedeon. Born in Aleppo, Syria, and raised in the US, Gedeon now divides her time between Berlin and New York. Her work has focused on her family history in Syria pre-civil war. The discussion delves into her latest projects, including her book "Aleppo Deconstruction Reconstruction" and her film "A Portrait of Michel," which explore the impact of the Syrian war on her family and artistic journey. Gedeon shares the emotional and personal challenges of working on projects related to her family's history, dealing with themes of identity, war, and loss, and the recent fall of the Assad regime. The conversation also touches on broader issues such as the impact of censorship and the political climate on artists, especially those from the Middle East.
