MADE IN PALESTINE: The Show

MADE IN PALESTINE is a groundbreaking show. It has been well-received by art critics nationally:

"A stunning exhibition...”
The Houston Chronicle, May 17, 2003

“Another vision of Palestine and its people... Through a mix of painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, and video, the artists sow tales of love and loss. They speak of struggle and success. But probably most importantly, they offer hope for the future.”
Christian Science Monitor, May 28, 2003

“Made in Palestine is the most poignant show I have visited in years.”
ARTL!ES, Summer 2003

“A rare opportunity to view contemporary art from Palestine... a longer look at daily life in Palestine than our edited nightly news snapshots ever reveal.... The quality is exceptional. What these artists add to our minds’ images of destruction and despair from this troubled region is an underlying sense of consciousness, strength and hope, both in themselves and their people.”
ArtsHouston Gallery Review, Summer 2003

“It’s hard to imagine peace if Palestinians can’t even be heard on their own terms.”
The New York Times, November 21, 2004

“The unprecedented Made in Palestine dramatically asserts a narrative too long suppressed... one of the visual art highlights of the year...while the starkness of Palestinian suffering undeniably comes across, there's surprisingly little gloom.”
San Francisco Bay Area Guardian, April 14-20, 2005

“…gutsy raw energy…makes Made in Palestine compelling. No matter what your political views, this exhibition with its edgy experimentation with forms, materials and conceptual art leaves you with a knot in your stomach.”
Times Argus, October 21, 2005

“A visually striking and politically unblinking exhibition that should not be missed... The view of Palestinians as repressed and anti-modern is another of the stereotypes shattered in this show.”
Seven Days: Vermont’s Alternative Weekly Webreview, October 26, 2005

Featured Art: Samia Halaby, "Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea." 2003, acrylic on canvas and paper, 85" x 154"
