MAKE A WAY is an exhibit of three Palestinian multidisciplinary artists working at the intersection of text and image. Palestinian thought and expression has long been calcified by the market’s capricious and violent nature, forced into simplistic and reductive narratives and easy, legible symbols. The ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people is a war of images as much as a war of text, dispersed and circulated by Zionism and its attendant, constituent support-systems (racism, imperialism, terrorism, international law). By working directly to manipulate and distort these oppressive languages (both text and image), the artists in MAKE A WAY seek to subvert and reveal formal violence and gesture towards possible alternatives. Across visual poetry, painting, and video work, Carolina Ebeid, Adam Chamy, and Fargo Nissim Tbakhi enact new forms of artistic engagement with the long shadows of settler-colonial knowledge- and culture-production, in search of how liberation might be spelled, curved, illuminated.
