Islamic cemetery, al-Shuhada Street, Hay al-Yahud/Avraham Avinu settlement, Old Town, northern part of the city, al-Khalil, December 25, 2016. View from al-Rahma hill. Jews have free access to al-Shuhada Street; Palestinian access is limited to residents who are registered by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the checkpoint, but only on foot. They have to renew their registration every year. All Palestinian shops in al-Shuhada Street and in Hay al-Yahud/Avraham Avinu settlement are closed by Israeli military order. Most of the Palestinian houses are deserted due to constant harassment by the IDF and settlers. Courtesy of the artist, © Ahlam Shibli

“The exhibition IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT gathered five artistic positions that discuss political crises and conflicts as a long-term and complex phenomena. The penetration of political interests in private living spaces, the relationship between power and the individual, it becomes a connecting element of a discourse on the complexity of the reality that surrounds us. Beyond the presentation of photographic highlights is the before and after, taking the crisis as a permanent phenomenon into view. ”
