The American Book Center is pleased to invite you to the Opening Reception, with artists in attendance, of: Palestine: the Art of Survival, ”Hunger and Work in a Savage Tribe” Collected works of Ramallah Underground Opening: February 3, 4-6PMThe exhibit runs February 01 to 24, 2008 How does art survive in a land that suffers under occupation , in a conflict situation already lasting a half century? How does art help people survive violence? How do Palistinian artists use art to hold on to their own culture and identity? Although Ramallah Underground is a musical group it actively strives to promote Palestinian visual artists through their website and now for the first time in an exhibition, with the intention of exposing the current voices giving expression to the complexities of the Palestinian condition and experience.The body of work presented is a collection of pieces from these different artists who each in their distinct way and through various mediums share the need to visually expose, represent and investigate both their personal and the collective experiences of Palestinians to date. In doing so the show reveals the commonalties, contradictions and difficulties of the present condition in Palestine, with work exploring such themes as time and place, exile and memory, and occupation and resistance. For this exhibition, the ABC Treehouse is open Thursdays through Sundays, 1-6PM, beginning February 1, 2008.
