Mapping Sitting: On Portraiture and Photography is a collaborative project and book that explores the visual history and cultural practices of portraiture and photography in the Arab world. Edited by Karl Bassil, Zeina Maasri, and Akram Zaatari, and produced in collaboration with Walid Raad, the work serves as an archive and a critical examination of how identity is constructed and represented through the camera lens. It draws upon a significant body of archival material and contemporary artistic practices to contextualize the evolution of the portrait from a private gesture to a public and political statement.
