At Camargo, Mary Ann Peters has researched the parallels between Middle Eastern migrations today and those out of Greater Syria at the turn of the 20th century that used Marseille as a crossroads. Her interest is in historical and photographic records that might reveal minutiae integral to the hybridized cultural narrative of Arab communities in a state of flux. She has compared these findings to pedestrian accounts provided by citizen journalists in the Arab world today. The information she collected has served as a basis for an installation series titled 'impossible monuments'.
