Title: PALESTINIAN ART
Description: "Experiences of trauma, loss and dispersal have had a profound impact on the lives of Palestinians for many decades. Despite the turmoil, Palestinian artists have continued to create powerful works of art that reflect and transcend contemporary realities even as they tap into the rich and layered sources of Palestinian heritage. They produce distinct and diverse works of art that dismantle the East-West dichotomy, reconfigure national identity and generate an alternative 'Third Space' of creativity." "Palestinian Art is an introduction to a little-known visual culture often subsumed uner the torrent of political turmoil. It illuminates new and unique facets of Palestinian cultural identity."--Jacket.
