The Worth Ryder Art Gallery is proud to present Stitching Keffiyehs: Moving Images from Palestine, opening Wednesday, February 28th and running through March 16th. This important exhibition features works by renowned artists representing diverse communities from Palestine and its diaspora. At a time when Palestinian voices are increasingly censored and denied platforms for expression, Stitching Keffiyehs provides a vital space for dialogue and reflection on themes such as land, exile, war, occupation, ecological decline, technology, femininity, and the body. The exhibition includes film and video art spanning from 1987 to 2022 and offers a rare glimpse into the rich tapestry of Palestinian culture, experience, and resistance.
