We cordially invite you to the meeting with a Palestinian artist Khaled Jarrar that will take place at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art on Monday, March 10, 2014 from 18:00.
Khaled Jarrar visits Prague in order to present his award-winning documentary entitled Infiltrators (2012) at the One World Film Festival. At DOX, he also exhibits his poster in the framework of the exhibition Poster in the Clash of Ideologies 1914 - 2014. His visit is supported by the Heinrich Böll Foundation as a part of the partnership with the One World Film Festival.
About Khaled Jarrar:
Palestinian artist Khaled Jarrar works with photography, video, and performance to interrogate the problematic situation in his native country, particularly the question of recognition of the State of Palestine and the militaristic discourse around this topic. The notion of state authority is a recurring concern: his project Live and Work in Palestine (2011-ongoing) saw the artist designing a seemingly official Palestinian passport stamp which was then offered to tourists arriving in Palestine. He had presented this project in 2012 during the Middle East Europe exhibition at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art and SPZ Gallery in Prague. In the summer of 2013, he showed at Ayyam Gallery London, where he built an imposing concrete wall extending across the width of the gallery, creating an allegory for the process endured by people crossing the apartheid wall in the West Bank in order to reach their homes in Palestine.
