Paintings and Photography from Palestine: A Talk with the Artists, Alaa Albaba & Rehaf Albatniji

You are cordially invited to join us for the second virtual event of the Palestinian Artists Consortium, where we will host the Palestinian visual artists Alaa Albaba from Ramallah and Rehaf Albatniji from Gaza, currently residing in France. We will explore with Albaba the story behind his collection of paintings (the Refugee Camp) and how his life in the Al-Amari Refugee Camp has shaped his artistic journey. Albatniji will also guide us through her photographic journey and how she used to express her life in Gaza, Albatniji often employs color as a tool of resistance to reflect the vitality of life in Gaza. She has published extensively in print media including Le Monde Diplomatique and other international magazines. Until recently, she trained young adolescents in Gaza City in photography and drawing before she moved to France to pursue an art residency at Cité International des Arts, Paris.

The panel will include:
