Exhibition Period: September 3rd - December 22nd

Memory Flows like the Tide at Dusk is palestinian artist Alexandra Sophia Handal's first solo museum exhibition. The exhibition presents Handal's nine year long research project on the divided city of Jerusalem and the personal and collective consequences of losing one's home and homeland. 

Through the voices of Palestinian refugees Handal tells the story of how expropriated Palestinian homes in West Jerusalem are today marketed as houses in "Arab style" for an exclusive Israeli clientele. Houses that many Palestinians still hold the keys to. 

The stories are gathered in a web archive in the form of a real estate agency website - Dream Homes Property Consultants (DHPC) - which appears to be a typical agency. But just a few clicks into the site another world unfolds; a world of Palestinian stories about their former life in the houses. It's an archive of the stories that officially do not exist and so easily seems to be forgotten.

The exhibition is curated by Alia Rayyan, Director of Al Hoash, an exhibition space for Palestinian art in East Jerusalem.
