Abed Abdi Environmental Sculptures & Murals

This section features Abed Abdi’s environmental sculptures and large-scale murals created over several decades in public spaces. These works reflect his commitment to placing art within the lived, communal environment — often blending collective memory, resistance, and cultural symbols into concrete, ceramic, or painted form.

His earliest mural, completed in 1971 during his studies at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, marked the beginning of this lifelong engagement with public art. Recently restored by the academy, this mural remains a rare example of Palestinian-German visual collaboration from the Cold War era, and stands as a testimony to Abdi’s early mastery of form, message, and monumental scale.
