SUMMARY:Traces and Revelations - Palestinian Art Exhibition 
DESCRIPTION:“Traces and Revelations” Exhibition is a result of a collab
 oration between Arts Canteen-London and Oriental Museum- Durham University
  featuring the work of internationally renowned artists Hazem Harb and Moh
 ammed Joha from Palestine.\n\nThe work of Harb and Joha explores the theme
 s of loss of identity\, home\, diaspora and overcoming the physical and ps
 ychological boundaries created by conflict\, specifically in their own per
 sonal histories of growing up in Palestine Hazem Harb and Mohammed Joha ha
 ve known each other since they were teenagers\, passing in the street in G
 aza City\, each carrying artists’ portfolio cases. They are now both wel
 l established artists living in Dubai and Italy respectively\, regularly e
 xhibiting in major art fairs\, museums and galleries of the Arab world and
  beyond. This exhibition seeks to examine the common and disparate element
 s of their work: those which could be traced back to their roots in Gaza a
 nd those which disrupted simplistic notions of cultural proximity and reve
 aled the new and\, often\, alarming.\n\nAser El Saqqa of Arts Canteen\, Lo
 ndon\, said\, “The range of work in Traces and Revelations is an impress
 ive one\, it harks back to each artists’ earlier work and past lives. F
 or both Harb and Joha\, Traces and Revelations opens up an imaginary\, par
 allel space in which to consider ideas of place\, identity and belonging.
 ”\n\nOriental Museum Curator\, Dr Craig Barclay\, said\, “It is very e
 xciting to be able to bring to Durham such compelling work by two wonderfu
 l artists. It is a great opportunity for our visitors to experience first-
  hand the creativity and vision of artists from this often misunderstood r
 egion.”\n\nMohammed Joha and Hazem Harb add something unique to this bod
 y of work\, bringing their own very human responses to life in Gaza throug
 h their paintings… Harb and Joha are part of a remarkable genealogy of a
 rtists who have given us a deep understanding of the inhumanity\, but also
  the humanity that features in conflict.” Michaela Crimmin\, co-director
  of Culture+Conflict\, a lecturer and research associate at the Royal Coll
 ege of Art\, and an independent curator.\n\nTraces and Revelations opens t
 o the public on Friday\, 4th April\, and runs until Sunday\, 5th October 2
 014. For more details visit https://www.dur.ac.uk/oriental.museum/exhibiti
