Show Notes
Wafaa Bilal has pushed his body to extreme lengths in the name of art. He has subjected himself to waterboarding, mounted a camera to the back of his head, and spent a month living in a gallery, where strangers shot him with tens of thousands of paintballs. He talks about escaping Iraq during the war and why he puts his body on the line for art.
Wafaa is currently a professor at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
The Museum wishes to thank Nadir and Shabin Mohamed for their founding support of This Being Human.
