Reema al Tawil, Ayed Arafeh and Bisan Abu Eisheh all engage with family archives through different perspectives. Tawil, whose father was bodyguard to late President Yassir Arafat, explores the position of her father behind the scenes of political moments, while Ayed Arafeh’s work revisits his family album of 70's and 80's through paintings that reflect on transformation of intimate social relations and their representation. Bisan Abu Eisheh uses his father's letters to his mother from prison as his point of departure to question the empty rhetoric of political speeches.
