The Palestinian Museum is pleased to invite you to take part in an exceptional art workshop with one of the pioneers of contemporary Palestinian art, Nabil Anani, joined by artist Yazan Abu Salameh, as part of the workshop series accompanying the exhibition “New Visions”.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage closely with Anani’s artistic journey and explore his distinctive techniques in working with leather and natural materials. The program draws inspiration from his mural “The March of Trees”, featured in the "New Visions" exhibition, which extends his long-standing practice of using organic materials such as leather, henna, and others sourced from the Palestinian environment.
