During his Spring 2022 semester at the American University of Beirut, William took the initiative of curating an exhibition for the students of the Department of Fine Arts and Art History.
William proposed a concept and coordinated with the artists to curate their works and install them in the student-run exhibition space "gallery405". He also planned the opening and organized the space.
The exhibition also served as the inauguration of "gallery405", aiming to encourage students to use the space later on.

Exhibiting Artists:

Aya Kaddour
Elena Habib
Julia Hashem
Karim Naamani
Mahdi Awada

The matter and the mind are often placed in opposition to each other. This prompts us to think about the material, the ideal, the form, the content, the physical, the etheral...
The saying “mind over matter“ obviously comes to mind. In this exhibition, artists think through these two terms and articulate on the relationship between the mind and the math.
