3rd Riwaq Biennale 2009, A Geography:
Fifty Villages
Act 1 Geography 102:
In Venice a Biennale, in five parts, time specific, 2009
In this project, Rabah creates a time specific work which uses large installation, performance, and video works to explore the epistemology of the concept of biennales. The Riwaq Biennale and the fifty ongoing series of interventions, transform Palestinian towns and villages into a vital hub of multiple activities and services. By using renovated historical buildings for a range of art and cultural projects, the aim is provide an alternative vision to challenge the perceptions and expectations of what a biennale can be as well offer the public a quieter register through which to engage with the contemporary cultural landscape of Palestine.
