In this online exhibition, Zawyeh Gallery reveals this unique body of work, produced over a decade, exploring the rich and intricate tapestry of Gaza. At this time of genocide, the exhibition not only presents a fascinating body of work from the past but also honors the memory of a vibrant place that has been facing unmerciful destruction of its people and memories.<\/p>\n<p>Barakat\u2019s series stems from his childhood memories as he grew up in Gaza, specifically in Jabaliya camp, which was subjected to a brutal bombardment campaign in recent weeks. From his graduation from Egypt in 1984 until 2005, Barakat worked on this series using different techniques, including collage, various printing methods, inks, and dyes. The work is also inspired by old manuscripts and documents from the pre-Israeli occupation era, which parallels his other artistic endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>Barakat\u2019s distance from Gaza and his infrequent visits due to the Israeli occupation measures can be noticed in this series. The longing for the place, people, and social scene is apparent in almost every work and his choice of collage is an excellent way to express this subject.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34299\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/anthologyfilmarchives.org\/film_screenings\/calendar?view=list&amp;month=09&amp;year=2024#showing-58171\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34299\" src=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Farouk-Beloufa-Nahla-film.jpg\" alt=\"Nahla a film from Farouk Beloufa\" width=\"900\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Farouk-Beloufa-Nahla-film.jpg 900w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Farouk-Beloufa-Nahla-film-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Farouk-Beloufa-Nahla-film-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Farouk-Beloufa-Nahla-film-600x297.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/anthologyfilmarchives.org\/film_screenings\/calendar?view=list&amp;month=09&amp;year=2024#showing-58171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Nahla<\/em><\/a>, a film from Farouk Beloufa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Bidoun presents Farouk Beloufa&#8217;s <em>NAHLA<\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Sept. 19 &amp; Sept 22, Anthology Film Archives, London, UK\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/anthologyfilmarchives.org\/film_screenings\/series\/56496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more info<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Since the summer of 2023, Anthology has been hosting screenings co-presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bidoun.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bidoun<\/a>.
