Of Palestinian origin, Mona Hatoum is an internationally recognized artist known for her performances and video works of the 1980s and for her large-scale installations and sculptures which turn the familiar into uncanny situations that capture the experience of permanent exile. In 2004, she was awarded the Roswitha Haftmaan Prize and was the first visual-arts recipient of the prestigious Sonning Prize. More photos from the same exhibition:
Also a breathtaking installation art at Darat AlFunun by the Scottish artist Jane Frere, entitled RETURN of the souls: the Nakbah Project. Three thousand Palestinian figurines, each representing a Palestinian refugee in one display. This extraordinary work is part of an international artistic project exploring and documenting the history of Palestine during the late 1940’s. The process of production was through young Palestinian artists, trained by artist Jane Frere who then conducted a series of educational workshops in refugee camps, in Palestine and the region.
