Ongoing \u2014 14 April more info<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n In the eyes of our present, we hear Palestine<\/em>\u00a0foregrounds the unyielding creativity of artists who have dedicated their practice to informing, advocating and educating about the history of the occupation, the current political situation and issues of human rights in Palestine. This special exhibition, presented in consideration of the ongoing tragedy in Gaza, is part of the Foundation\u2019s continuous support for Palestine and its people and testifies to the decades-long struggle for homeland and sovereignty in Palestine. While bearing witness to forced displacement and devastating loss, the works also celebrate the rich identity and heritage of Palestine, invoking a spirit of solidarity.<\/p>\n More than 60 artworks featured in the exhibition, all part of the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection, are by artists from Palestine and its neighbouring countries. Together, these paintings, sculptures, installations and videos, spanning from the 1950s till the present, offer a glimpse into the challenges and hopes of the Palestinian community.<\/p>\n Participating artists include Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Adel Abidin, Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri, Simone Fattal, Tarek Al Ghoussein, Shadi Habib Allah, Hazem Harb, Mona Hatoum, Emily Jacir, Najat Makki, Jumana Manna and Sille Storihle, Rashid Masharawi, Khalil Rabah, Mario Rizzi, Raeda Saadeh, Mona Saudi, Basma Al Sharif, Nida Sinnokrot, Sharif Waked, Kamal Youssef and Abdul Hay Mosallam Zarara.<\/p>\n This event is open to all and free to attend.

Our favorite must-see pick is Omar Amiralay: Sorrow, Time, Silence<\/em><\/a>\u00a0directed by Hala Alabdalla<\/a>, which is part-cinematic letter to an old friend, the late Syrian documentarian Omar Amiralay, and part-reflection on Syria then and now.

Omar died in 2011, five weeks before the Syrian revolution.<\/p>\n For the full list of films playing this February, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
