Podcast: Lost Paradise in Nasr Abdel Aziz’s Work
Thursday, 7 May, 20:00
Location: the Palestinian Museum digital platforms
Language: Arabic
In this episode, we move closer to the world of artist Nasr Abdel Aziz, beginning with a folk tale about the ghoul and tracing his journey across Zakariyya, the Ein al-Sultan refugee camp, Baghdad, Moscow, and Cairo, where his artistic voice gradually took shape. Along the way, we explore how this journey unfolded through searching and experimentation-not as a linear path, but as a layering of places and memories.
The episode also looks at his beginnings in drawing, his engagement with the Egyptian art scene, and how these influences appear in his work through color and composition, alongside his presence within the art scene in Jordan. It touches on key aspects of his style as shaped by the intersection of memory, experience, and movement.
This episode was produced as part of the Palestinian Museum Digital Archive. Written and presented by Jinan Silwadi, directed and editorially supported by Sura Abualrob, sound design by Mahmoud Abu Nada.
