| Description | This exhibition aims to reconstruct the reality of a besieged and absurd landscape. They bring to the surface the world of Gaza; the Invisibles with their resilient practices. A world built out of urgency and scarcity that challenges colonial powers and the geography of exclusion by re-appropriating discarded resources. The gallery has been transformed into an experimental laboratory. The components assembled in this lab build on Yara and Nasser’s ongoing work as Palestine Regeneration Team (PART). They are an accumulation of what has been collected, used, or appropriated in collaboration with families to reconstruct fragments of their neighbourhoods and homes in Gaza and Palestine. The objects and artefacts on display illustrate an alternative use of materials salvaged from the ruins. Community-driven initiatives include working with rammed earth, recycled crushed concrete from the rubble, reused reconstruction bars, clay-fired and unfired, corrugated metal as well as recycled timber and cardboard. |
