Overview

'Young Artists from Occupied Palestine and the Golan Heights'. Akram Halabi, Majd Abdel Hamid, Hazem Harb, Shada Safadi, Salama Safadi, Layan Shawabkeh, Wafaa Yasin. The seven artists in this exhibition were selected from the 12 finalists in the A.M. Qattan Foundation’s 2008 Young Artist of the Year award. The biennial Award programme was initiated in 2000 to support and promote artistic practice by young Palestinian artists. In 2004, it was named in honour of the young artist Hassan Hourani who died in a tragic drowning accident in the sea at Jaffa. The seven artists come from or are based in Ramallah, Jerusalem, the Galilee, Gaza and, for the first time in the Award’s history, the occupied Golan Heights.
