more about the exhibition Room 14: Artworks from the Palestinian Prisoners' Movement

Created during Alaziz Atef’s nine-month imprisonment in Israel’s Ofer military prison, these works use paper sourced from the kitchen, pens passed between cells, and coffee rations as pigment.

It may have been Alaziz who put pen and coffee to paper, but it was the prisoners working in concert—drawing from decades of collective work and sacrifice at the heart of the Palestinian prisoners’ movement—that produced them.

These works are presented with “Who would listen, move my vocal cords, and hear me now?”, a sound installation by Dirar Kalash that takes its title from the last will and testament of the martyred political prisoner Kamal Abu Wa'ar.

This work condenses and amplifies sounds from daily life and lived reality by treating such sounds—in form, content, and organic interrelation—as a fundamentally political statement against the normalisation of silence on one hand, and the monotony of ordinary quotidian sounds on the other.
