According to a press statement issued by Darat Al Funun on
Sunday, the earlier exhibitions, which had to be closed prematurely due to the
pandemic, will be extended. These include “Das Capital” by artist Nadia
Al-Kaabi-Lenki and "Camel in the Room" by Raed Ibrahim.
Works from the Khalid Shoman Foundation, such as the
"Negative Invasions Series" by artist Rola Halwani, will also be
presented. Halwani’s series includes a portrayal of harsh images of the reality
of the Israeli occupation forces’ cyclical incursions into the Palestinian
territories from 2002. In addition, "Hadeqa Al Aqsa" by Wael Shuqi
from 2006 will also be presented, and it deals with the precarious situation of
the city of Jerusalem.
Even after reopening,
Darat Al Funun will continue its
online activities by introducing the "La Jaded, La Hadith" project by
Haytham Al-Nasr, including on-site video games, sketches, and writings and
pieces that the artist has worked on for over six years.
In their “Laboratory,” Darat Al Funun is turning back 20
years to showcase the work of a group of artists who studied under the
supervision of Marwan Qassab Bashi at the Summer Art Academy from 1999 to 2003.
