Rosalind Nashashibi

It is a special moment for me: my article on Rosalind Nashashibi’s exhibition “Stones”, curated by @yasmijnjarram , has been published in @metropolism_mag I visited the exhibition on a very snowy day, and it immediately left a deep impression on me. Nashashibi’s video language is profoundly poetic and delicate, and the curatorial approach created a sense of suspended time, almost shaped by emptiness. This led me to research her previous works, in an attempt to move closer to her world. Along the way, my path crossed with Ece Temelkuran’s book Nation of Strangers and her idea of being “un-homed”. Through this, my reading of the exhibition found its centre. 🌀 I would like to thank @metropolism_mag and @stella.kummer for the thoughtful editing, @grimmgallery , especially @fenna_albrecht for generously sharing research materials, and @ece.temelkuran for her inspiring book.

Before Our Eyes at z33 in Hasselt, Belgium, running 28.03 to 23.08.26. Curated by @timroerig “The act of looking is never neutral. What we choose to see, and what we avert our eyes from, says something about us….. …Their work responds to the political events of our time, with particular attention to the genocidal violence in Palestine, through images that take a stand or call for reflection. For how can artists address the violence? Not by simply showing it again, but by carefully choosing what to make visible—and what to withhold.” With works by Marianne Berenhaut, Ryan Cullen, Marlene Dumas, Hamishi Farah, Sirah Foighel Brutmann & Eitan Efrat, Rabih Mroué, Rosalind Nashashibi, Mohammed Sami, Luc Tuymans and Angharad Williams.

I stand in solidarity with the signatories of ANGA’s demands and support their call to exclude Israel from the Venice Biennale. The widening war we are witnessing did not appear overnight. It grows from years of normalizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its 78 year occupation of Palestine, allowing institutions to treat it as an exception. Culture must not provide cover for genocide and the brutal imperial aggression being unleashed on Iran and Lebanon. No genocide pavilion. No artwashing in our name.

Thank you dear friend @basim.magdy for this gift of four beautiful Palestine stamps first issued in 1927. Delivered by my postman in London this morning from you in Switzerland. Seeing these stamps connected me to a time before apartheid, occupation and genocide. The time of my grandparents’ infancy, a time of co- existence albeit under the British Mandate, and it lifted my heart. 🇵🇸❤️

I posted this a few days ago and removed it as I saw the denials from BM and wanted to wait and see. But now I’ve seen. Thanks to @palforumuk and others, the writing on the wall is clear. Palestine is being erased as a place and a living culture.

Just one more week to see Nashashibi/Skaer show at Peter Freeman inc. A few of the films, film posters and photographs I’ve made over the past twenty years in collaboration with Lucy Skaer - one of the best artists, thinkers, friends I’ve ever known. @peterfreemaninc #lucyskaer #nashashibi/skaer

KM21 is happy to announce the acquisition of two works by Rosalind Nashashibi from her current exhibition Stones. The film Electrical Gaza (2015), centerpiece of the exhibition, and the new painting Steadfastness (2025) have both been added to the collection of Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Director Margriet Schavemaker says: “With the acquisition of these powerful pieces, we are cherishing the voices from around the world that offer new perspectives on our times. Nashashibi’s strength lies in her work’s complex layering, in which she weaves the everyday with urgent political realities, reminding us of the necessity of human connection.” Nashashibi’s recent paintings contain visual references to art history but also allude to the lived reality of the Palestinian people. Electrical Gaza, shot in 2014, shows Gaza as if under enchantment, caught between reality and a magical version of itself. Today, this in-between state has been bitterly overtaken by reality. Much of what we see in the film – from buildings to human lives – has been destroyed, displaced or killed. This gives the work new potential meanings: as a testimony, an archive or a monument of mourning. Images: 1. Installation view Stones at KM21 featuring Steadfastness, 2025 2.

In ‘Stones’, the motif of the stone becomes a layered symbol of resilience, shelter, endurance, and uprising, resonating with its manifold meanings in Palestinian culture.
