While Palestine and Palestinians are the subjects of steady newspaper and television coverage, the media seldom give a sense of the diversity, complexity, and human experience of the Palestinian population, both within the territories and living abroad. This exhibition takes as its starting point the different life experiences inside and outside, the range of issues of concern to artists, and the varied audiences to whom Palestinian artists address their work. The show will feature the work of sixteen artists of Palestinian identity living at home or abroad, some established and well known, others at the early stages of their careers.
