A Talk with the Artist Reem Al-Natsheh: How the Palestinian Folklore Tales Turned into Paintings

Join the Palestinian Artists Consortium for their third virtual event of where they will host the Palestinian visual artist, Reem Al-Natsheh, from the City of Hebron (based now in France).

They will explore with Al-Natsheh the story behind her “Layers of Identity Collection” which she has been developing and actively producing. Al-Natsheh is unique in her style and chosen themes. She has been delving into questions of identity and home through the window of folklore tales.

Folklore tales constitute a crucial aspect of Palestinian oral history, yet they are seldom explored by scholars. In her artwork, Al-Natsheh revives that semi-forgotten genre and highlights the need to shed more light and attention on it for the sake of encountering Israeli propaganda as well as the identity theft.

Al-Natsheh will join via Zoom from her art residency at Cité International des Arts, Paris.

The panel will include: Yusuf Abudi, Host and facilitator / Ahmed Hmeedat, the Consortium Founder & facilitator / Reem Al-Natsheh, an Artist from Hebron
