Opening this weekend Tanya Habjouqa’s ongoing series “Shadow nor the Sun” Łódź Poland Open Programme.
“There is a Palestinian folk tale. The Devil proposes to share a field with the farmer: “I will take what is above ground and you what is below.” The farmer plants radishes. The following year the Devil says, “I will take what is below ground and you what is above.”
The farmer plants lentils. The occupation seizes the visible: the orchards, the groves. What remains is hidden, carried, smuggled. The farmer plants where the Devil is not looking.
“Shadow nor the Sun” documents how Palestinians hold onto land, knowledge, and family under an occupation built to remove all three. This series by began in 2009 and continues today.
Presentation curated by Artistic Director / East Wing is proud to represent the work of Tanya Habjouqa - we look forward to welcoming her to her first exhibition in Poland.
