Made in Palestine is the first museum exhibition
in the united States devoted to the contemporary
art of Palestine. This exhibition follows the
modern history of the Palestinian people from
the Al-Nakba of 1948 to their
dream for a homeland.
There are
evocations of the forced dispossession of the
Palestinian people and the testament to the
day-to-day brutality of the current Israeli
occupation.
Palestinian
artists, under the most egregious circumstances,
create works of art that are a contribution to
the world art. Specifically, they create symbols
and visual configurations that define their
national liberation struggle for free Palestine.
Being an artist for Palestine is an act of
courage.
