Hide Geographies

The maps are the fragmented geographies of Palestine; area C, the West Bank, Gaza, and what looks like Jerusalem, but is also Nova Palestina, a favela which has been transformed by Rabah to become part of the Palestinian geography. The maps are made out of leather, with classical Palestinian embroidery patterns sewn into them. The maps are reminiscent of trophy hides, hunted down and defeated geographies are very befitting the entrance of this museum.
