As part of the Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival Townhouse Gallery hosts Khaled Hourani and Amr Shalakany to discuss the project ‘Picasso in Palestine’. Picasso in Palestine was a project dedicated to bringing Pablo Picasso’s
Buste de Femme from the Van Abbemuseum’s collection for display in
Palestine. The negotiations to realise the art project Picasso in
Palestine have been a complex endeavour as a seemingly simple request
has reset the legal, artistic and official procedures for international
art movements. Hourani will discuss the project with Egypt-based Amr
Shalakany. Attendance is free.
