affa & the Present Absence: A Collection of Loss WMB02
More Images
The book tells the story of the art collection of Zahi W. Khouri. "As a collector of Palestinian art, my pursuit extends beyond aesthetics into the act of assertion -an assertion of a historical narrative in the face of repeated denial. My collection stands as a tangible testament to a vibrant culture that belies the misguided claims of a barren Palestine made bloom by the likes of Golda Meir, a former prime minster of Israel, and Ursula von der Leyen, the thirteenth president of the European Commission. I wish it to be an undeniable record that Palestine was not a cultural desert. It was and remains a fertile oasis of creativity and expression. Art, in my collection, thus plays a far more crucial role than merely decorating walls. Each piece of art, marked with Palestine, unearths the realities buried under the sands of political expediency." Zahi W. Khouri
