The DEFACED yet ALLURING exhibit is an attempt by artist Manal Deeb to show the strength of Palestinian women in facing such obstacles, which simply represent disfigurement to the surface and not to the core “self”.
You may have noted that the gallery is now called The Jerusalem Fund Gallery Al-Quds. This addition helps to place us in context as we continue to present the art of Palestinians, Arabs and Arab Americans, as well as non-Arabs whose work touches on the Middle East.
“FROM THERE” is a portfolio of memories by Palestinian artist Manal Deeb in an attempt to interpret the known versus the unknown of finding home, self, identity, and the challenge it presents in the creation of art.
Palestinian arts are flourishing this spring. Among the winners of the Abraaj Capital Art Prize 2012, awarded at Art Dubai in March, is Palestinian artist Taysir Batniji.
