2019 | An exhibition of photography, in collaboration with London Palestine Film Festival

The Found Archive of Hani Jawherieh explores the personal collection of iconic Palestinian photographer and cinematographer Hani Jawherieh. In 1982, most of Jawherieh and his peers’ work was looted by the Israeli army. However, his private collection was salvaged by his wife Hind. Now, for the first time, this collection is being presented to the public.
The exhibition aims to explore what it means to have access to such material, which has been the target of destruction and abduction. It asks what it means for a Palestinian artist to be able to appropriate the work of another Palestinian artist, a luxury which is rarely possible.
This exhibition is co-presented by The Void Project and The London Palestine Film Festival.
