A.M. QATTAN Foundation (Ramallah) + 37th Festival Les Instants Vidéo (Marseille)
2 Palestinian Programs + 2 International programs
Only on the 20th of October 2024
VisualcontainerTV is hosting the 8th Biennal SI:N, the renowned Palestinian video and performance art biennal based in Ramallah, Palestine, by The A.M. Qattan Foundation and Les Instants Vidéo Numérique et Poétique Festival, now in exile. The online event will take place only on October 20.
In 2024, the Palestinian video and performance art biennal /si:n/ (8th edition) is forced into exile. It will be hosted by the 37th Festival Les Instants Vidéo. But it will also be travelling the world, welcomed by other museums of solidarity (in Ethiopia, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Jordan, Lebanon, Canada, USA). Inspired* by the tri-continental, anti-imperialist solidarity movements of the 1960s and 80s, at the crossroads of militant, artistic and museological practices that created a very particular form of museum of solidarity, without walls, and more often than not, museums in exile (in support of the people of Chile, Nicaragua, South Africa and of course Palestine), the A.M. Qattan Foundation and Les Instants vidéo launched a call for solidarity to artists and international organisations. ( A.M. Qattan Foundation and Les Instants vidéo)
In praise of the High Shadow
(based on a poem by Mahmoud Darwich, written in 1982 during the siege of Beirut, a poem written after the Sabra and Shatila massacre, read in Algeria in 1983 before the Palestinian National Council.)
