Get transported into the emotive world of Fouad Farah’s ‘Sit al Dounia’ exhibition at Saifi Village from the 26th of December until the 18th of January. Watercolor pieces depicting Beirut through the eyes of an architect who not only recreates the streets, historical houses, and souks with precision and accuracy but adds a new layer of realism by infusing a strong coat of emotion in each brushstroke. He omits the sky and the sun which are staples of the capital to let the light and the power of the people of Beirut speak for itself.
Palestinian art is travelling far beyond the places where it was created. From Ramallah to Dubai, and onward to collectors across Europe, the United States and beyond, a new generation of Palestinian artists is finding an increasingly international audience — while continuing to negotiate questions of memory, identity, displacement and belonging.
