ROOM 03 – LADO V
Distant Territories presents a diverse selection of video works by Palestinian women artists, working both within and outside Palestine. In a region that is densely mediatized by the violence of the ongoing conflict and colonial occupation, the works invite us to take a closer look at this territory and its emerging contemporary art practices through a different lens. The works explore the struggles of a displaced people, their resilience, and survival through innovative practices.
The videos were selected by Aline Khoury, in cooperation with Al Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art (Jerusalem).
Al Ma’mal is a non-profit organisation based in “the former Tile Factory” in New Gate, in the Old City of Jerusalem, serving its surrounding community, their guests and the city’s visitors through a programme of exhibitions, live music and workshops. Since 1998, Al Ma’mal has been a hub for art, cultural vibrancy and learning while building bridges with the world and honouring Jerusalem’s own enduring qualities as a complex, culturally rich, ageless city.
