 nRHB 144\, Goldsmiths\, Lewisham Way.\n \nMuthanna Al-Qadi’s  work is di
 splayed amongst contemporary photographs of Palestine alongside the exhibi
 tion Conversations with Jean Mohr and Edward Said in Palestine\, installed

 in Palestine \n(Kingsway Corridor\, Richard Hoggart Building\, Goldsmiths\
 , Nov 2013 – June 2014) \nLewisham Way\, New Cross\, London SE14 6NW\n \
 nPresented by the Methods Lab\nhttp://www.gold.ac.uk/methods-lab/\n\nIn 19
 83 Jean Mohr was commissioned by the UN\, on Edward Said’s recommendatio
 n\, to take photos of some of the key sites in which Palestinians lived th
 eir lives. Because the UN allowed only minimal text (the names of places) 
 to accompany the photographs\, Said and Mohr decided to work together on a
 n 'interplay'\, as Said put it\, of Said's personal account of Palestinian
  suffering and exile and Mohr's photographs – 'an unconventional\, hybri
 d\, and fragmentary [form] of expression' - which they called After the La
 st Sky (1986).\n \nFor the first time Mohr’s images and Said’s text ar
 e brought together in the form of an exhibition. Borders\, migrations\, la
 bour\, displacement\, diaspora and memory percolate through the words and 
 images in After the Last Sky. So too does the symbolic violence of the int
 imate\, close-up view. The place of the observer – photographer\, resear
 cher or  journalist – becoming a source of debate. Mohr’s photographs 
 are an invitation to look again\, with a critical eye.\n \nAmidst the shif
 ting lines and technologies of dispossession and occupation\, landscapes h
 ave been transformed and places have been erased and re-named since Mohr t
 ook his photographs. Both the text and images in Space & Gaze prompt a dia
 logue with voluminous images of Palestinian lives that circulate internati
 onally. Inviting reflections on the changes and continuities that have tak
 en place over time not only with respect to how Palestinians have been see
 n\, but also how they have chosen to see and show themselves. The exhibiti
 on includes contemporary photographers from Palestine – Ahmad Daghlas\, 
 Arine Rinawi\, Fadi Arouri\, Hatem Moussa and Muthanna Al-QadiOn.\n \nOur 
 aim is to extend and develop engagement with this installation through a s
 eries of workshops and events. We also welcome autonomously organised even
 ts and responses to the exhibition. \n \nThis exhibition has been financed
  by the Sociology Department\, the Enterprise Office as well as Goldsmiths
 ’ inter-disciplinary development. The printing of the images has been su
 pported by the Photography Research Laboratory in the Art Department.\n\nC
