Adam Rouhana: Before Freedom
6 June – 30 June
“Born to a Palestinian father and an American mother from New York, Adam Rouhana was raised in New England, where he immersed himself in the Western canon. Despite this, he maintained a connection to Palestine, returning annually. As a teenager, Rouhana began to discern a dissonance between Western perceptions of Palestine and the collective consciousness of Palestinians.
Through this series of images, the work aims to reclaim representations of Palestine from Western perspectives. Over the past century, the Palestinian narrative has largely been shaped by foreign actors through an orientalist lens, often with the aim of exerting colonial influence. ‘Before Freedom’ offers a fresh interpretation of orientalism, presenting a narrative gestalt—a reimagining of images and politics through a reevaluation of geopolitical, socio-cultural, and historical contexts, manifested in aesthetic form.”
