The exhibition examines art as a site of active memory rather than a passive record of the past. It bridges two distinct modes of “retrieval”: the physical salvage embodied in the Land Day Monument (1978), and the visual-conceptual “presencing” articulated in Nardeen Srouji’s “360” (2024).
The two works converge on a shared premise: that memory is not a passive inheritance, but a living and renewed presence, and that history is an ongoing process that draws its meaning from the repeated act of bringing it into presence.
Curators: Rula Khoury, Tal Ben Zvi – in collaboration with “Mossawa Center”.
