Event summary

Highlights

  • Tribute to the late Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour
  • Features works reflecting Palestinian identity and resistance
  • Displays art made from natural materials like mud and henna
  • Includes references to the famous 'Camel of Hardships' painting
This exhibition showcases the influential work of Sliman Mansour, a leading figure in contemporary Palestinian art known for his distinctive visual language. The collection highlights his engagement with themes of displacement, memory, and attachment to the homeland. His paintings frequently incorporate Palestinian cultural symbols such as olive trees, the keffiyeh, and rural landscapes, emphasizing both the hardships and the steadfastness of the people.

Visitors can view pieces that reflect Mansour's experimental use of natural materials like mud, straw, and henna—a practice developed during the First Intifada to bypass restricted art supplies. The exhibition includes references to his most iconic works, such as “Jamal al-Mahamel” (Camel of Hardships). Located at the Art Bureau on Somayeh Street, the gallery is open to the public from Saturday to Wednesday during daytime hours.
