Sculptor Hannan Abu-Hussein’s (b. 1972, Umm al-Fahem) exhibition catalogue surveys three decades of artistic practice, bringing together large-scale installations and works in diverse, deeply symbolic materials. Sheep’s fleece, traditional blankets, olive oil, iron combs, and concrete become vehicles for exploring memory, identity, gender and political violence. Repetition and manual labor are central to her practice, transforming everyday objects into powerful testimonies to Palestinian women’s experiences. Challenging the binary between “East” and “West,” Abu-Hussein’s work bridges Minimalism’s serial forms with Post-Minimalism’s use of materials charged with history and meaning. Across her practice, tenderness, struggle, and resistance converge, reflecting her experiences as a woman, Palestinian, artist, and educator.
