Free Event
Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our current exhibition. This season, we are presenting a major new commission by the Palestinian artist duo Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme who work together across sound, image, text, installation and performance. This exhibition features the artists' largest multi-media installation to date, celebrating their significant contribution to the field of research driven audio-visual art, exploring songs, poems and daily acts of resistance.
Bint Mbareh presents the work of the exhibition through the lens of how folklore can be a contemporary resource for resistance. The walkthrough will particularly focus on Palestinian folklore passed through sound which proves to be difficult to catch and cage by oppressors. Bint Mbareh will invite the audience to consider the ways of transmitting sound that both respects it and keeps it secret from those seeking to exploit it.
