Maraya Art Centre, a non-profit creative organisation that supports emerging artists in the region, has announced the opening of ‘Hazem Harb. Temporary Museum. For Palestine’, a solo exhibition featuring new works by contemporary Palestinian artist, Hazem Harb.

The internationally renowned Dubai-based artist’s attempts to capture the essence of the legacy of his home country, Palestine, takes the form of archival materials including ancient maps, family photographs and paintings, and are displayed in vitrines, lending it a distinct museological aesthetic. Using collage-based techniques that incorporate photography and mixed media on a grand scale, the artist pieces together a temporary museum that showcases the fragmentariness of Palestine’s history.

Hazem Harb. Temporary Museum. For Palestine runs until 10 February 2022 at Maraya Art Centre, Al Qasba, Sharjah
