SOUTH WEST BANK—Landworks, Collective Action and Sound at the Venice Biennale

Organized by Artists + Allies x Hebron and presented in collaboration with Dar Jacir for Art and Research in Bethlehem.

SOUTH WEST BANK—Landworks, Collective Action and Sound, curated by Jonathan Turner, is an exhibition that focuses on works produced by artists, collectives and allies in and around the southern West Bank in Palestine. Selected as a Collateral Event of the 60th Venice Biennale.

The participating artists look at aspects of land, agriculture and heritage in a rapidly ever-shifting topography. The artists share a voice centered on historical transmissions of memory and collectivity. The works embody the idea that “home” is strongly rooted in many traditional practices. The works featured in the exhibition express an Anthropocene rooted in forced dispossession and occupation.

The exhibition includes works from Samer Barbari, Adam Broomberg, Duncan Campbell, Rafael González, Isabella Hammad, Shayma Hamad, Chris Harding, Baha Hilo, Adam Rouhana, Emily Jacir, Sebastian Jatz Rawicz, Benjamin Lind, Jumana Manna, Michael Rakowitz, Mohammad Saleh, Vivien Sansour, Andrea de Siena, and Dima Srouji. In addition, participants from the Researching Palestine Zine Group coordinated by Chris Harding include Suzannah Henty, Raghad Hilal, Ramzi Nim, Hanna Salmon, Laura Tibi and Marta Wodz.
